Etymology
The term 'perceptually' is derived from the word 'perception,' which has its origins in the Latin verb 'percipere', meaning 'to seize, perceive, or understand.' 'Perception' first entered the English language in the late 14th century, and it evolved from Middle French 'perception', which also traces back to Latin. The suffix '-ally' in 'perceptually' indicates belonging to or related to perception, and it was formed in accordance with the conventions of English word formation in the 19th century. Over time, the use of 'perceptually' has become more prevalent in academic and psychological discussions, especially as the study of human consciousness and cognition has expanded.
