Etymology

The word 'sexually' originates from the root word 'sex,' which comes from the Latin word 'sexus,' meaning 'gender, sex, or division.' This word was introduced to the English language in the late 14th century through Middle French. Over time, 'sex' evolved in its usage to not only refer to the biological distinctions between males and females but also to the broader context of sexual characteristics and behaviors. The adverbial form 'sexually' started to take shape as the language developed, particularly in the 19th century, reflecting the ongoing discussions around sexuality and human relationships. As societal views on sex and sexuality have evolved, so too has the use of 'sexually' to encompass a wide range of meanings including an individual's sexual orientation and practices.
