Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the adjective 'mutinous' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The root 'mutiny' derives from the obsolete 16th-century noun 'mutine' (rebellion), borrowed from Middle French 'meutin' (rebellious), ultimately from Vulgar Latin '*movita' (a military movement or revolt), from Latin 'movere' (to move).
