Etymology
'assertively' originates from the Latin word 'assertivus,' meaning 'affirmative,' and 'gathered' comes from the Old English 'gadrian,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'assertively' evolved from the Latin 'assertivus' through Middle English, while 'gathered' transformed from the Old English 'gadrian' to the modern English 'gather.'
Initially, 'assertively' meant 'affirmative,' and 'gathered' meant 'to bring together.' Over time, 'assertively-gathered' evolved to mean 'collected in a confident manner.'
