Etymology

The word "emotionally" derives from the noun "emotion," which entered English in the 16th century from French émotion, itself from Latin emotio (a stirring or agitation). The Latin root emovere combines e- (out) + movere (to move), reflecting the idea of feelings "moving outward." The suffix -al transforms the noun into an adjective ("emotional"), and -ly further converts it into an adverb, describing actions performed with emotional intensity.
