Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in the early 17th century from the adjective 'remarkable' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Remarkable' was borrowed from Middle French 'remarquable', from 'remarquer' ('to take note of'), itself derived from the intensive prefix 're-' and 'marquer' ('to mark'), of Germanic origin.
