Etymology
The term stiflingly is derived from the verb 'stifle', which has its origins in the late Middle English, relating to the word 'stiflen', meaning to suffocate or choke. It combines with the adverbial suffix '-ly', which transforms adjectives into adverbs. The word 'stifle' itself originates from the Old English 'stifel', meaning to put an end to, suppress, or restrain, with roots that can be traced back to Germanic languages. Over centuries, the meaning has evolved, particularly in describing weather conditions that feel constrictive or suffocating. Stiflingly, as a descriptive term for intense heat or discomfort, has gained popularity in literature and conversation, often painting vivid imagery of uncomfortable environments.
