interestingly
UK: ˈɪntrəstɪŋli | US: ˈɪntrəstɪŋli
adv. in a way that attracts attention or curiosity
adv. used to introduce a surprising or noteworthy fact
The word "interestingly" is built from the noun "interest," which originates from the Latin interesse (to be between, to concern). Over time, "interest" evolved to mean "curiosity or attention." The suffix "-ing" forms the present participle (e.g., "interesting"), and "-ly" converts it into an adverb. The progression reflects a shift from a concrete Latin verb to an abstract English adverb describing manner.
