Etymology

The adverb penetratingly is derived from the verb penetrate, which comes from the Latin word 'penetrare', meaning 'to pass through'. The suffix -ing is added to create the adverb form, indicating the manner in which something is done. Penetratingly has been used in English since the late 19th century to describe actions or qualities that go deep or have a strong impact.
