Etymology

The word 'modernly' derives from 'modern', which comes from the Latin 'modernus', meaning 'mode or manner of present time'. 'Modernus' is a combination of 'modo' (meaning 'just now' or 'in this manner') and the suffix '-ernus', which is akin to relaying state or quality. The term 'modern' appeared in English in the late 15th century and evolved through time to signify post-medieval trends. Adding the suffix '-ly' to 'modern' transformed it into an adverb, thus designating the way in which something is done in a contemporary manner. In modern English usage, 'modernly' serves to emphasize how a concept or action aligns with the innovations and characteristics of the current era.
