Word origin

The word 'reasonably' is derived from the word 'reason', which comes from the Old French word 'raison' and the Latin word 'rationem', meaning 'reckoning, understanding, motive'. The adverb 'reasonably' has been used in the English language since the 14th century, evolving over time to its current usage to indicate a logical and satisfactory manner.
