Etymology of INTIRELY

The word intirely is derived from the Middle English word entierly, which evolved from the Old French word entier, meaning whole or complete. The Old French term itself stems from the Latin word integer, which means untouched or whole. The Latin word integer also gives us the English word entire, demonstrating the etymological connection between the two. Over time, entierly transformed into intirely, and eventually, it further evolved into its modern spelling, entirely.
