Definition of fluently

"Fluently" stems from the Latin word "fluens," meaning "flowing." This was further influenced by the French word "fluent," which also meant "flowing" or "smooth." The connection between flowing water and smooth speech is evident, as both suggest an effortless, unimpeded movement. This association led to the evolution of "fluently" to describe the ability to speak or write easily and smoothly, without hesitation or stumbling.
