Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the adjective catalytic, which stems from the noun catalysis, coined in the early 19th century from Greek katalysis, meaning 'dissolution' or 'breaking down', combining kata- ('down') and lyein ('to loosen'). The adverbial suffix -ly was appended in the mid-19th century as chemistry expanded to describe processes mediated by catalysts.
