Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the adjective 'amenable' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Amenable' entered English in the late 16th century via Law French from Old French 'amener' ('to bring or lead to'), ultimately tracing back to Late Latin 'minare' ('to drive cattle with threats or shouts').
