Word origin
The word 'steadily' is derived from the Middle English word 'stedefastli', which combined 'stedefast' (firmly fixed in place) with the suffix '-li' (forming adverbs). Over time, the spelling and pronunciation evolved to become 'steadily'. The adverb has been used in English since the 14th century, originally conveying the idea of being firmly fixed or constant.
