reliably
UK: rɪˈlaɪəbli | US: rɪˈlaɪəbli
adv. in a dependable or trustworthy manner
adv. consistently accurate or effective
The word "reliably" stems from the verb "rely," which originates from Old French relier (to bind together, from Latin religare, meaning "to fasten"). The suffix "-able" (from Latin -abilis) transforms it into an adjective meaning "capable of being depended on," and the adverbial suffix "-ly" (from Old English -lice) converts it into an adverb. The progression reflects a shift from physical binding (Latin) to abstract trustworthiness (Modern English).
