Etymology
The word 'queenly' originated in the early 19th century, formed from the word 'queen' combined with the suffix '-ly,' which is often used to form adverbs and adjectives indicating manner or quality. The comparative form 'queenlier' follows standard English morphological rules for creating comparatives. 'Queen' itself comes from the Old English 'cwen,' which referred to a woman, especially a wife, signifying a female ruler or spouse of a king. The association with monarchy has strengthened the term's connotation of royalty and elevated status over the centuries. As literature evolved, especially during the Renaissance and Victorian eras, the portrayal of women in regal roles became emblematic, and terms like 'queenly' became more prominent in describing their bearing and characteristics.
