From "digital" + "-ly". "Digital" comes from the Latin "digitalis," referring to a finger or toe, initially used in the context of numerical representation, and later extended to refer to devices or information processing that use discrete digits. The suffix "-ly" transforms the adjective into an adverb.
The term 'digitally' began to gain prominence with the rise of personal computers and the internet in the late 20th century. It increasingly reflected the shift towards computerized processes and media.
