"Madly" is a combination of the word "mad" and the adverbial suffix "-ly." "Mad" itself has a long history, derived from Old English "mæd" meaning "angry, furious," which ultimately traces back to Proto-Germanic *madaz. The suffix "-ly" is also of Old English origin, meaning "in a … manner." Therefore, "madly" signifies a state of being "in a mad manner," conveying an intense, often uncontrolled, or passionate state.
