'connately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'connatus', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'natus' meant 'born'.

'connately' developed from the adjective 'connate' in English, which was borrowed from Late Latin 'connatus' ('con-' + 'natus'); English 'connate' was used in Middle English and later formed the adverb with the suffix '-ly' to create 'connately'.

Initially, it meant 'born together' or 'having the same origin', but over time it evolved into the current sense of 'innately' or 'by nature'.
