Etymology of DELAYINGLY

The word "delayingly" is formed from the verb "delay" and the suffix "-ingly".

The word "delay" originated from the Old French "délayer" and ultimately comes from the Latin "delatāre", which means "to put off". It is derived from the Latin prefix "de-" meaning "away" or "off" and the Latin verb "lātus" meaning "carried".

The suffix "-ingly" is an adverbial suffix in English that forms an adverb from an adjective or a noun. It is derived from the Old English "-lice", which originally meant "body" or "manner" and evolved to express the manner or way in which something is done. Over time, the suffix changed to "-ly".
