Etymology
The term 'masculinely' is derived from the adjective 'masculine,' which originates from the Latin word 'masculinus,' meaning 'male' or 'manly.' This Latin term is a diminutive form of 'masculus,' which directly translates to 'male' or 'man.' The word has undergone various forms in linguistic evolution, manifesting in Old French and Middle English, before cementing its place in modern English. The suffix '-ly' is added to adjectives to form adverbs, indicating 'in the manner of,' hence forming 'masculinely' to express how actions or characteristics align with traditional male attributes. This historical context underscores the gender associations kept in the language, reflective of societal norms spanning centuries.
