The word "impossibly" was first used in the English language in the 16th century, and it retained its meaning from Latin. Initially, it was used as an adjective to describe something that is not capable of happening or being done. Over time, the word's meaning expanded to include the idea of something being extremely difficult or unlikely to happen or be done. Throughout history, the word "impossibly" has been used in various contexts, including literature, art, and everyday conversations.
