Etymology
'aggressively-growing' combines 'aggressively,' from Latin 'aggressivus,' meaning 'attack,' and 'growing,' from Old English 'grōwan,' meaning 'to grow.'
'Aggressively' evolved from the Latin 'aggressivus' through French 'agressif,' while 'growing' comes from Old English 'grōwan.'
Initially, 'aggressively' meant 'in an attacking manner,' but now it also implies 'forcefully or rapidly.' 'Growing' has retained its meaning of 'increasing in size or number.'
