The word "nuttily" is derived from the noun "nut" combined with the suffix "-ly". The term "nut" dates back to the late 17th century and originally referred to the edible fruit or seed of certain plants, such as almonds or hazelnuts. It was borrowed from the Old English word "hnutu" or "hnitu", which had a similar meaning. Over time, "nut" also started being used figuratively to describe someone who is eccentric, strange, or crazy, particularly in British English. The suffix "-ly" is commonly added to adjectives to form adverbs, indicating "in a particular manner" or "to a particular degree". Thus, "nuttily" means to act in an eccentric or crazy manner.
