Definition of undefined

"Steeply" comes from the Old English word "stēap," meaning "sharp, pointed, or steep." This word likely originated from the Proto-Germanic word "stēpa," which shared similar meanings. Over time, "steep" evolved to describe not only physical slopes, but also things that incline sharply or rapidly, such as prices, costs, or learning curves. The adverbial form "steeply" followed suit, denoting a rapid or significant increase or decrease.
