Origin of the word spasmodically

"Spasmodically" comes from the Greek word "spasmos," meaning "convulsion" or "spasm." This root evolved into the Latin "spasmus" and then into the English "spasm." The suffix "-ic" denotes something related to or characterized by, while "-ally" indicates a manner or quality. Therefore, "spasmodically" signifies something happening in a way that resembles or is characterized by spasms or sudden, involuntary movements.
