Etymology

The word 'likewise' originated from the Middle English phrase 'likewis,' which means 'in the same way or manner.' It has been in use since the 15th century. The prefix 'like-' means 'similar to,' and 'wise' means 'way' or 'manner.' Over time, the word evolved to its current form, 'likewise,' and is commonly used in modern English to express agreement, similarity, or adding a further point.
