'electronically' originates from 'electron,' which comes from the Greek word 'ēlektron,' meaning 'amber,' due to the static electricity properties of amber.

'electron' was coined in the late 19th century, and 'electronic' emerged in the early 20th century, leading to the adverb 'electronically.'

Initially, it referred to phenomena related to electrons, but now it broadly covers anything involving electronic devices.
