/ˈvɪʃəsli//ˈvɪʃəsli/

The word "viciously" has its roots in the 14th century Latin term "viciousus," meaning "deformed" or "withered." This Latin term was derived from the verb "vivere," which means "to live." Over time, the term "viciousus" evolved to describe something that is wicked, evil, or depraved. In Middle English, the word "vicious" emerged, initially referring to something that is morally corrupt or wicked. The suffix "-ly" was added to form the adverb "viciously," which means performing an action in a vicious or wicked manner. The word has since become a common English word, with its definition expanding to include acting or behaving in a cruel, brutal, or ruthless way. Today, "viciously" is widely used to describe actions that are morally reprehensible and lacking in kindness or compassion.
