'adverbiation' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'adverbium,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'verbum' meant 'word.'

'adverbium' transformed into the English word 'adverb,' and eventually became the modern English word 'adverbiation' through the addition of the suffix '-ation.'

Initially, it meant 'the act of making something an adverb,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
