Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in Middle English from the adjective "perfect" and the adverbial suffix "-ly"; "perfect" derives via Old French from the Latin "perfectus," meaning "completed" or "thoroughly made," the past participle of "perficere" ("per-" meaning "thoroughly" + "facere" meaning "to make or do").
