Word origin

The term 'ordinally' has its roots in the word 'ordinal', which comes from the Latin 'ordinalis', meaning 'of order' or 'this or that'. The concept of order has been essential in both linguistics and mathematics, especially when it comes to ranking and categorizing items. 'Ordinal' itself can be traced back to the late Middle English period, deriving from the Old French 'ordinal' which took influence from the Latin 'ordinare', meaning 'to put in order, arrange'. The adoption of 'ordinally' as an adverb allows for flexibility in describing the manner of ordering or ranking in various domains, including mathematics, linguistics, and everyday life.
