Etymology

The word 'scarily' is derived from the adjective 'scary', which dates back to the late 16th century. The term 'scary' originally meant timid or easily frightened, but over time it evolved to describe something causing fear or alarm. The adverb 'scarily' developed from this adjective form to emphasize the degree of fear or alarm. Today, 'scarily' is commonly used in both contexts to convey a sense of fright or intensity.
