Etymology
The word 'stationarily' is derived from the adjective 'stationary', which itself originates from the Latin word 'stationarius', meaning 'belonging to a standing place'. This is a combination of 'stare', which means 'to stand', and the suffix '-ary', which typically denotes relating to. The usage of 'stationary' in English dates back to the late 15th century, where it was primarily used to describe objects that remain in one place. The adverbial form 'stationarily' came into usage later, as English evolved to include more nuanced ways of describing actions that denote a lack of movement. Over time, the adverb has been employed in various contexts, particularly in describing movement in scientific, artistic, and everyday vernacular, emphasizing the contrast between stillness and movement.
