Etymology
The term 'rankly' is derived from the word 'rank', which has roots in Old French 'ranc', meaning 'line, row, or rank' and originally came from the Late Latin 'rancus', which means 'rank, row, or arrangement'. The suffix '-ly' is commonly added to adjectives in English to form adverbs, indicating the manner in which something is done. The use of โrankโ in English has evolved to encompass hierarchical and categorical systems, particularly in contexts such as competitions, classifications, and rankings. While 'rank' has been a part of the English lexicon since around the 14th century, the adverb form 'rankly' appeared later in use, reflecting the growing complexity of societal structures and the need for language to express degrees of status and comparison among individuals or entities.
