Word origin
The term 'manfully' originates from the word 'manful', which emerged in Middle English around the 14th century. 'Manful' itself is derived from Old English 'manfull', meaning having the qualities of a man, particularly strength and bravery. The suffix โ-lyโ was added to form the adverb, emphasizing the manner of action associated with the qualities of manhood. Historically, the word reflected societal norms regarding masculinity, valor, and the expectations placed on men during periods when bravery in battle and moral fortitude were highly valued. Over the centuries, while the connotations of masculinity have evolved, 'manfully' has retained its association with courage and determination in the face of adversity.
