Etymology

The term 'latterly' originates from the word 'latter', which derives from Old English 'lรฆtra', meaning 'later' or 'after'. The suffix '-ly' was added to form an adverb, indicating a manner of being or happening in relation to time. The use of 'latterly' has been documented since the early 17th century and has evolved as the English language developed, particularly through its usage in British English. It emphasizes a temporal aspect, distinguishing actions or events that occur at a later point in time from those that are immediate or from the past. Over the centuries, 'latterly' has maintained its relevance in literature and everyday language, often providing a stylistic touch to discussions about changes, trends, or developments that have become evident in more recent times.
