Etymology of ELIGIBLY

The word "eligibly" is derived from the adjective "eligible". The term "eligible" originated in the early 17th century and was borrowed from the French word "éligible", which itself comes from the Latin word "eligibilis". The Latin term is a combination of two elements: "e-" meaning "out" or "away", and "legere", meaning "to choose" or "to read". Thus, the etymology of "eligibly" is directly linked to the Latin root and the notion of being "fit for choice" or "worthy of selection". In modern English usage, "eligibly" is an adverb form of "eligible" and is used to describe something that meets the necessary qualifications or conditions for eligibility.
