Etymology
The word 'muscularly' comes from the adjective 'muscular,' which is derived from the Latin term 'musculus,' meaning 'little mouse,' a reference to the way muscles appear under the skin, resembling mice in their shape. The suffix '-ly' is appended to form an adverb, indicating a manner of performing an action. The term began to gain prominence in the English language in the late 19th to early 20th centuries as physical culture movements grew in popularity, emphasizing strength and physical fitness. It reflects both physical capability and the aesthetic quality of muscular development, often used in contexts related to sports, fitness, and bodybuilding.
