Etymology
The word 'wondrously' has its roots in the Old English word 'wundor', meaning 'wonder' or 'miracle'. It is closely related to the word 'wonder', which can refer to both a feeling of amazement or admiration and the object of such feelings. The suffix '-ly' is added to the adjective form 'wondrous', which itself derives from 'wondrous' in Middle English, tracing back to the Proto-Germanic *wundran, meaning to cause to wonder or be astounded. The evolution of 'wondrous' into 'wondrously' reflects a shift from simply describing a noun to modifying verbs and adjectives, allowing for a more dynamic and expressive use in language. 'Wondrously' has been used in literature since the early 16th century, often appearing in poetic forms to enhance the emotional impact of descriptions.
