Etymology

The word "angrily" derives from the adjective "angry," which originated from the Old Norse "angr" (meaning "grief" or "sorrow") and the Old English suffix "-ig" (indicating a quality). Over time, "angry" evolved to mean "full of anger," and the adverbial suffix "-ly" (from Old English "-lice") was added to form "angrily," describing actions performed with anger. The progression reflects a shift from sorrow to active emotional expression.
