Definition of the word <b>generously</b>

Origin of the word generously

The word "generously" traces its roots back to the Latin word "genus," meaning "kind, race, or origin." Over time, it evolved into "generosus," meaning "noble, high-born, or generous." This sense of nobility and high character was associated with the act of giving freely and abundantly, which is where the modern meaning of "generous" stems from. "Generously" simply adds the adverbial suffix "-ly" to the adjective "generous," signifying the manner in which something is done, hence "in a generous way."
