Word origin

The word 'procedurally' is derived from the noun 'procedure', which comes from the Middle English 'procedur', ultimately from the Latin 'procedere' meaning 'to go forward'. The adverb form 'procedurally' started being used in the mid-20th century in the context of computer programming to refer to actions carried out in sequence according to a predetermined set of rules or guidelines.
