Definition of urgently

urgentlyadverb

khẩn cấp

/ˈɜːdʒəntli//ˈɜːrdʒəntli/

"Urgently" comes from the Latin word "urgere," meaning "to press, to urge, to drive." This root also gives us words like "urgent" and "urge." Over time, "urgere" evolved into the Old French "urguer," and then into the Middle English "urgen," from which "urgently" ultimately derived. The "ly" ending simply signifies the adverbial form of the word. So, the essence of "urgently" lies in the idea of something needing immediate and insistent attention, just like pressing or urging someone to act quickly.
