Word origin
The word 'stereotypically' is derived from the word 'stereotype', which originated in the printing industry in the late 18th century. It was originally used to refer to a printing plate that duplicated a fixed set of characters. Over time, the term evolved to also describe fixed, oversimplified ideas or images about a particular group of people. The adverb 'stereotypically' was formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'stereotypical', emphasizing the manner in which something is done in a stereotypical way.
