Etymology
The word 'narrowly' originates from the word 'narrow', which comes from the Old English 'nearwe' meaning 'narrow, constrained, or limited'. The suffix '-ly' adds the adverbial form, indicating a manner of action. The use of 'narrowly' has evolved over time, particularly in the context of precision and limited scope, often found in literature and speeches to emphasize constraints or narrowly defined parameters. It has been used in various contexts since the early Middle Ages and reflects a linguistic shift towards more specialized uses in both everyday language and formal discourse.
