Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the adjective dramatic, originating from the Late Latin dramaticus, and ultimately from the Greek dramatikos pertaining to drama (draō, to do or act). The adverbial suffix -ly was added in English to denote manner or degree, initially relating to theatrical performance before broadening to describe sudden, striking, or profound changes.
