'emotionally' originates from the word 'emotion,' which comes from the Latin word 'emotio,' where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'movere' meant 'to move.'

'emotio' transformed into the French word 'émotion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'emotion' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'a movement or agitation of the mind,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a strong feeling.'
