Etymology

The word 'trustworthily' is a combination of the words 'trustworthy' and the adverb suffix '-ly'. The base word 'trustworthy' dates back to the mid-17th century, derived from the noun 'trust' and the suffix '-worthy', meaning deserving of trust. The addition of the suffix '-ly' transforms the adjective 'trustworthy' into the adverb 'trustworthily', indicating the manner in which something is done with trustworthiness. The usage of 'trustworthily' has become less common in modern language compared to its base form 'trustworthy'.
