Word origin

The word 'phonically' is derived from the adjective 'phonetic', which comes from the Greek word 'phonetikos', meaning 'of speech sounds'. The suffix '-ally' is added to make it an adverb, indicating how something is done or in relation to sound. Phonics and phonetics are important fields of study related to sound and speech production.
