Etymology

The word 'obligingly' derives from the verb 'oblige,' which comes from the Latin word 'obligare,' meaning 'to bind' or 'to constrain.' In English, the term emerged in the late 16th century. Originally, 'to oblige' pertained to the idea of binding oneself to do something for another. Over time, the meaning expanded to include the notion of being helpful or accommodating out of goodwill rather than obligation. 'Obligingly' is simply the adverbial form of 'oblige,' indicating the manner in which someone performs an actionโ€”specifically, with a willingness that suggests eagerness to assist or serve. The positive connotation of 'oblige,' associated with courtesy and kindness, is retained in its adverbial form.
