Origin of the word naively

The word "naively" has its origins in the Latin words "naevus," meaning "ingenuous" or "innocent," and the suffix "-ly," which forms an adverb. The term "naively" first appeared in English in the 17th century and is often used to describe an action or behavior that is done without thinking or scheming, typically in a cheerful or optimistic way. For example, "She naively believed that everything would work out for the best." In modern usage, "naively" can also carry a connotation of foolishness or lack of experience, as in "He naively trusted a stranger with his valuable jewelry."
