'artistically' originates from the word 'artistic,' which comes from the Latin word 'artisticus,' where 'art-' meant 'skill' or 'craft.'

'artisticus' transformed into the French word 'artistique,' and eventually became the modern English word 'artistic' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to art or skill,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'in a manner that relates to art or artists.'
