cao quý

/ˈnəʊbli//ˈnəʊbli/

The word "nobly" has its roots in Old English and Middle English. In Old English, the word "nobil" (noble) referred to a person of high birth or rank. This ultimately comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*nubilaz," which is also the source of the Modern German word "nabel" meaning "noble" or "exalted." During the Middle English period (circa 1100-1500), the word "nobly" emerged as an adverbial form of "noble." It was used to describe actions or behavior that were considered dignified, gracious, or majestic. For example, "He acted nobly in saving the stranger's life." Over time, the word has continued to evolve, although its core meaning has remained relatively unchanged. Today, "nobly" is often used to describe actions that demonstrate virtues such as courage, honor, or generosity.
