The word "evenly" is derived from the Middle English term "evenli" which emerged around the 13th century. It is a combination of the Old English word "efne" meaning 'equal' or 'level' and the suffix "-līce" which denotes manner or condition. Over time, "efne" evolved into "even" and "-līce" turned into "-ly". Therefore, "evenly" essentially means in a fair, level, or equal manner.
