Etymology

The word "digitally" derives from "digital," which originates from the Latin "digitus" (finger/toe), reflecting early counting methods using fingers. The suffix "-ly" converts the adjective "digital" into an adverb, indicating the manner of action. The term evolved with technological advancements to describe data represented numerically (as discrete digits), contrasting with analog systems.
