Etymology

The word 'necessarily' originated from the Latin word 'necessarius', which means 'unavoidable' or 'indispensable'. It has been used in English since the 14th century. The concept of logical necessity has been a significant part of philosophical and mathematical reasoning, where 'necessarily' is used to indicate a proposition that must be true in all possible worlds. Over time, the word has evolved to also convey the idea of something required or inevitable.

See also: unnecessarily, unnecessary.
