Word origin
The word 'occasionally' originated from the Latin word 'occasionalis', which means 'casual' or 'incidental'. The term has been used in the English language since the 16th century. Over time, it has evolved to represent the idea of something happening infrequently or at irregular intervals. The adverb 'occasionally' is commonly used in both spoken and written English to describe actions or events that occur from time to time.
