Etymology of USURIOUSLY

The word "usuriously" is formed by adding the suffix "-ly" to the adjective "usurious". The etymology of the word "usurious" can be traced back to the Latin word "usura", meaning "interest". In Old French, it evolved into "usure", which then entered Middle English as "usure" or "usury" in the 13th century. Eventually, the suffix "-ous" was added to form the adjective "usurious", which means charging excessive or exorbitant interest on loans. The addition of "-ly" to "usurious" creates the adverb "usuriously", which describes an action done in an usurious manner, or excessive interest charging.
