Etymology

The word 'hotly' derives from the adjective 'hot', which has Old English origins as 'hat', meaning 'having a high temperature or an intense heat'. The adverbial form 'hotly' likely developed during the Middle English period, where various modifications of adjectives to form adverbs were commonplace. The adverb has evolved to encompass not just physical warmth but also emotional intensity and passionate discourse. Over the centuries, 'hotly' has been used increasingly in literature and conversation to describe heated arguments or passionate actions. Its figurative sense, relating to strong feelings rather than temperature, became prominent in early modern English, illustrating a shift in the application of the term to reflect emotional and argumentative contexts as well as the original physical meaning.
