Etymology

The term 'unshakably' is derived from the adjective 'unshakable', which appears to have roots that can be traced back to Middle English, specifically formed by the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'shakable'. The word 'shake' originates from Old English 'sceacan', which means to move back and forth or to tremble. The addition of the suffix '-able' implies that something can be shaken. Therefore, 'unshakable' refers to an inability to be shaken or disturbed. The adverbial form 'unshakably' emerged later, as the English language evolved over centuries, showcasing the gradual transition from Old English to Modern English structures. It reflects a growing emphasis on emotional and psychological resilience, especially in literary and motivational contexts.
