Word origin

The word 'weakly' originated from the Middle English word 'weikly' which means 'in a weak manner'. It has been used in the English language since the 14th century. The term 'weakly' is derived from the Old English 'wฤclฤซฤ‹' which also means 'weak'. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass both physical and non-physical meanings related to lacking strength or vigor.
