Etymology

The word 'peremptorily' originates from the Latin word 'peremptorius', meaning 'destructive, decisive', which is derived from 'perimere', meaning 'to take utterly, destroy'. The Latin term is formed from 'per-' meaning 'completely' and 'emere' meaning 'to take'. The term made its way into Middle French as 'peremptoire' before being adopted into English in the late 16th century. Over time, 'peremptorily' evolved to describe a manner of communication that is definitive and cannot be contested. The uses of the adverb in modern English typically refer to commands or statements that are given in an authoritative manner, often disregarding any opposition.
