Etymology

The word 'laudably' is derived from the adjective 'laudable', which originates from the Latin 'laudabilis', meaning 'praiseworthy' or 'worthy of praise'. The Latin term 'laudare', which means 'to praise', forms the root of both 'laudable' and 'laudably'. The first known use of 'laudable' in English dates back to the early 15th century, while 'laudably' emerged a bit later, functioning as the adverbial form of 'laudable'. Over the centuries, the word has maintained its positive connotation of deserving commendation, often used in contexts involving morality, ethics, and recognition of efforts that are seen as virtuous or honorable. Its usage continues to be relevant in contemporary discussions surrounding social responsibility and civic engagement.
