Etymology
The word 'mightily' originates from the Middle English term 'mighti', which in turn comes from the Old English 'mihtig', meaning strong or powerful. This root is related to the Proto-Germanic '*mahtwฤซgaz', which also conveys the sense of strength and might. The use of 'might' as a noun refers to power, strength, or force, and as a verb, it indicates the expression of possibility or ability. The adverbial form 'mightily' developed in the 14th century to describe actions performed with strength or intensity. Over the centuries, it has been used in literature and everyday speech to convey the extent to which something is done with vigor, particularly in contexts of struggle or competition.
