The word "socially" derives from the Latin root socius (meaning "companion" or "ally"), which evolved into the Old French social and later Middle English social. The suffix -ly, of Old English origin, transforms adjectives into adverbs. Combined, "socially" originally denoted actions performed in a companionable manner, later broadening to encompass societal norms and interactions.
