Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the adjective 'bothersome', which combines the verb 'bother' (likely from Middle English or Scandinavian origins related to driving someone to a state of being deaf or foolish) with the suffix '-some' (Old English '-sum', meaning apt to or tending to). The adverbial suffix '-ly' was subsequently added in the late 19th century to denote the manner of causing annoyance or vexation.
