Etymology

The word "vigorously" derives from the adjective "vigorous," which itself comes from the noun "vigor" (from Latin vigor, meaning "liveliness, activity"). The suffix "-ly" is added to form the adverb, indicating manner. The root "vigor" traces back to Latin vigere ("to be lively, thrive"), reflecting a sense of vitality and strength. Over time, "vigorously" evolved to describe actions performed with energy or intensity.
