The word "frigidly" is derived from the adjective "frigid", which dates back to the late 15th century. The term has its roots in the Latin word "frigidus", meaning "cold" or "chilly". It is further connected to the Latin verb "frigere", which means "to be cold" or "to stiffen". Over time, "frigid" has come to describe extreme coldness or a lack of warmth. Adding the suffix "-ly" forms the adverb "frigidly", indicating the manner in which something is done in a cold or unemotional way.
