Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Middle English 'angelic', from Old French 'angelique', and ultimately from Greek 'angelikos' meaning 'messenger'. The adverbial suffix '-ly' was added in the late 16th century to denote manner, transforming the adjectival concept of angelic qualities into an adverb describing actions performed in the manner of an angel.
