Etymology

The word 'tidily' comes from 'tidy', which has its origins in the late 15th century, derived from the Middle English word 'tidy', which meant 'in good order'. It is rooted further in Old English 'tฤซd', meaning 'time' or 'season', suggesting that tidiness is associated with creating order within a certain timeframe or environment. The suffix '-ly' was added to create the adverbial form, which allows the word to describe the manner in which actions are performed. Over the centuries, the concept of being tidy has expanded, reflecting cultural attitudes towards cleanliness and organization. The usage of 'tidily' encompasses not only physical arrangement but also the metaphorical idea of clarity in thoughts and processes.
