Where does the word rebelliously come from?

The word "rebelliously" originates from the Old French word "rebeler," which means "to refuse to obey." This Old French word is derived from the Latin words "re-" (meaning "again" or "anew") and "bellum" (meaning "war" or "civil war"). In the 15th century, the English language adopted the word "rebellious" and later added the suffix "-ly" to form the adverb "rebelliously." Throughout history, the word "rebelliously" has been used to describe actions or attitudes that are contrary to authority or convention. For instance, a person who acts rebelliously might refuse to follow rules, challenge authority, or resist change. Despite its negative connotations, the word "rebelliously" has also been used to describe courageous or heroic actions, particularly in the context of political activism or social movements.
