Origin of the word narrowly

"Narrowly" comes from the Old English word "nearwe," meaning "close" or "tight." It evolved through Middle English "narewe" and eventually became "narrow." The suffix "-ly" was added to the word "narrow" to form the adverb "narrowly," meaning "in a narrow way," "closely," or "almost." This process of adding "-ly" to adjectives to create adverbs is common in English.
