The word "globally" derives from "global," which originates from the Late Latin "globus" (meaning "sphere" or "ball"). The suffix "-ly" is an Old English adverbial marker, turning adjectives into adverbs. Over time, "global" evolved from its literal sense of "spherical" to its modern metaphorical meaning of "worldwide," reflecting the Earth's spherical shape. The addition of "-ly" extends this meaning to describe actions or states that encompass the entire world.
