Etymology

The term 'hardily' combines the word 'hardy,' which originates from the Old French 'hardi' meaning bold or brave, and the adverbial suffix '-ly.' In Middle English, 'hardy' referred to someone who was strong in mind and bold in action. Over time, the adverb form 'hardily' developed to emphasize the manner of undertaking activities with vigor and resilience. Its usage evolved as English absorbed influences from various languages, signifying not just physical strength but also mental determination. Today, 'hardily' is often used in contexts that require descriptions of tenacity and energetic involvement in tasks, frameworks that were cultivated through centuries of linguistic development.
