Etymology of ANATHEMATICALLY

The word "anathematically" is a derivative of the noun "anathema" combined with the suffix "-ically".

The term "anathema" has its origins in Greek. In ancient Greek, the verb ἀνατίθημι (anatithemi) meant "to set up" or "to dedicate". Over time, it took on a more specific religious meaning, referring to a person or thing that is cursed, condemned, or banished from society due to their actions or beliefs.

The word "anathematically" adds the suffix "-ically" to "anathema". This suffix is commonly used in English to form adverbs from adjectives. In this case, it turns "anathema" into an adverb, meaning "in an anathematic manner" or "according to anathema".
