'remarkably' originates from the Latin word 'remarcabilis,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'marcabilis' meant 'worthy of note.' 'Linked' comes from the Old English 'hlencan,' meaning 'to join or connect.'

'Remarkably' evolved from the Middle French 'remarquable,' while 'linked' transformed from the Old English 'hlencan' to the modern English 'link.'

Initially, 'remarkably' meant 'worthy of note,' and 'linked' meant 'to join.' Over time, 'remarkably-linked' evolved to mean 'having a notable connection.'
