Etymology

The word 'romantically' derives from the word 'romantic', which originates from the late Middle Ages use of the term 'romant', referring to the quality of romance as it became associated with idealized love and chivalric tales. It evolved through French and Latin influences, where 'romantique' in French indicates something relating to romance or fiction. The romantic movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries further shaped its meaning, emphasizing emotion and individualism over rationalism, which brought a significant focus on romantic love in literature, art, and music. By the time the adverb 'romantically' came into use in the 19th century, it was firmly connected to the expression of love and deep emotional connections, reflecting the ideals of the romantic movement's emphasis on personal experience and heartfelt relationships.
