Word origin

The word 'militarily' is derived from the word 'military,' which comes from the Latin 'militari,' meaning 'pertaining to soldiers or war.' The transition from Latin to Middle French as 'militaire' in the 15th century and then to Old English influenced its modern English form. Over time, the adverbial form 'militarily' was established to describe actions taken by military forces. Its usage has become prevalent in discussions of warfare, defense policies, and international relations, reflecting the increasing importance of military power in statecraft since the late 19th century. The historical context of militarily relates closely to events such as world wars and geopolitical conflicts where military strategies and alliances played a crucial role.
