"Gladly" comes from the Old English word "glædlice," which means "joyfully" or "happily." "Glædlice" was formed by combining the adjective "glæd" (meaning "glad") with the suffix "-lice," which indicated manner or state. Over time, "glædlice" evolved into "gladly" in Middle English, and its meaning has remained largely unchanged, signifying a willing and enthusiastic acceptance.
