Etymology

The word "lastly" derives from the Old English "latost," the superlative form of "late," meaning "final" or "most recent." The suffix "-ly" was added to form an adverb, a common pattern in English (e.g., "quickly," "finally"). Over time, "lastly" evolved to specifically mark the concluding point in a sequence, retaining its core idea of finality.
