Word origin

The word 'slantingly' is derived from the adjective 'slant,' which originated in the late 17th century from the obsolete verb 'slant' meaning 'to distort.' Over time, 'slant' evolved to mean 'to slope or incline at an angle.' The adverb 'slantingly' was formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to 'slant,' creating an adverbial form to describe actions or perspectives that are inclined or biased.
