The word "furiously" derives from the Latin "furiosus," meaning "full of rage" or "wild," which itself comes from "furia" (fury, rage). The suffix "-ly" is an Old English adverbial marker, turning adjectives into adverbs. Over time, "furiously" evolved to describe not just anger but also intense energy or speed, reflecting the unrestrained force implied by its root.
