The word "Wetherly" is spelled with two syllables, pronounced as /ˈwɛð.ər.li/. The first syllable sounds like "wether", which is a male sheep that has been castrated. The second syllable, "-ly", is a suffix that means "in a manner of" or "characterized by". Thus, the word "Wetherly" may have originated from a place named after a wether or a location that is characterized by male sheep. However, the exact etymology of this word remains unclear.
