Etymology

The word "massively" derives from "massive," which entered English in the late 15th century from Middle French massif (meaning "bulky" or "solid"), itself originating from Latin massa (a "lump" or "mass"). The suffix "-ly," of Old English origin, transforms adjectives into adverbs, indicating manner or degree. Thus, "massively" literally means "in a massive manner," evolving to emphasize scale or intensity in modern usage.
