noticeably
UK: ˈnəʊtɪsəbli | US: ˈnoʊtɪsəbli
adv. in a way that is easily seen or observed; conspicuously
adv. to a noticeable degree; significantly
The word "noticeably" derives from the verb "notice" (from Latin notitia, meaning "knowledge" or "observation"), combined with the suffix "-able" (indicating capability) and the adverbial suffix "-ly." The progression reflects the transformation from observing ("notice") to being observable ("noticeable") and finally to the manner of being observable ("noticeably"). This structure highlights how Latin roots merged with English suffixes to create a precise adverb describing visible or significant change.
