Etymology
The word 'roughly' originates from the Old English 'ruh', meaning 'rough' or 'coarse'. This term evolved into Middle English as 'roughe' and later, in the 15th century, adopted the modern spelling. The suffix '-ly' was added to form an adverb indicating the manner of performing an action. Over centuries, 'roughly' has been utilized in various contexts, emphasizing a lack of precision or care in execution, and has become a common part of the English lexicon.
