Etymology
The word 'weak' originates from Old English 'waca', meaning 'soft' or 'weak', and can be traced back to Proto-Germanic '*weakaną'. The adverbial form 'weakly' emerged in Middle English as 'wekely', reflecting a state of feebleness or fragility. The superlative form 'weakliest' developed as an extension of this base, following the general pattern in English of modifying adverbs to indicate a comparative or superlative degree. It signifies the most pronounced lack of strength or potency in either a physical or metaphorical sense, and has been used in various contexts since the Middle Ages.
