Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the English adjective 'covalent', which combines the Latin prefix 'co-' (together, jointly) with 'valent', stemming from 'valere' (to be strong, to have power or value), coined in chemical nomenclature in the early 20th century. The adverbial suffix '-ly' was subsequently added to describe actions or states involving covalent chemical bonding.
