The word "agreeably" is derived from the base word "agree", which originated from the Old French word "agreer". The Old French term, in turn, was derived from the Latin word "aggratus", meaning "to please". Eventually, "agreer" evolved into "agréable" in Old French, which means "pleasant" or "pleasing". The English word "agreeably" emerged from Middle English and has retained a similar meaning, denoting something done in a pleasant or agreeable manner.
