Etymology of TONGUELY

The word "tonguely" is derived from the base word "tongue" combined with the suffix "-ly".

The term "tongue" comes from the Old English word "tunge", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "tungon". This, in turn, is believed to be a borrowing from the Proto-Indo-European root "*dnghu-", meaning "tongue" or "speech".

The "-ly" suffix is an Old English adverbial form, indicating manner or quality. When attached to the word "tongue", it creates the adverb "tonguely", which signifies something done or expressed with the qualities associated with a tongue.
