The word "traditionally" stems from the Latin traditio (meaning "handing over" or "delivery"), derived from tradere ("to deliver, hand over"). The root tradition evolved in English to signify customs or beliefs passed through generations. The suffix -al forms adjectives (e.g., "traditional"), and -ly converts adjectives into adverbs, creating "traditionally" to describe actions performed in accordance with tradition.
