Etymology
Etymology Information

'aneurismally' originates from 'aneurismal' (relating to aneurism), which comes from 'aneurism', itself from Greek 'aneurysma', where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'eurys' meant 'wide'.

Historical Evolution

'aneurysma' transformed into the Late Latin 'aneurysma', then into the French 'anévrisme', and eventually became the English 'aneurism' and its derivatives like 'aneurismal' and 'aneurismally'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, it meant 'relating to a widening or dilation (of a blood vessel)', and now it specifically refers to things characteristic of or relating to an aneurism.
