Definition of naughtily
naughtilyadverb
nghịch ngợm
/ˈnɔːtəli//ˈnɔːtəli/The word "naughty" originates from the Old English word "nahte," meaning "nothing" or "nought." This evolved into "naughte" and then "naught," which referred to something lacking in value or worth. The adjective "naughty" emerged around the 14th century, originally meaning "wicked" or "evil." Over time, the meaning softened to describe behavior that is mischievous or disobedient, but not necessarily inherently harmful. This shift reflects a change in societal views on childhood behavior.
