Definition & pronunciation of <b>largely</b>

Where does the word largely come from?

The word "largely" comes from the Old English "lārge," meaning "big" or "wide." Over time, it evolved to "large" and then "largely," adding the "-ly" suffix to indicate "in a large manner." The "l" in "large" is related to the root of words like "long" and "length," all stemming from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to stretch." This highlights the connection between size and extension, making "largely" a natural evolution in the language.
