Etymology Information

'proficiently-done' originates from the word 'proficient,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'proficere,' where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'facere' meant 'to do or make.'

Historical Evolution

'proficere' transformed into the Old French word 'proficient,' and eventually became the modern English word 'proficient' through Middle English. The suffix '-ly' was added to form the adverb 'proficiently,' and 'done' was appended to create the compound adjective 'proficiently-done.'

Initially, 'proficient' meant 'advancing or making progress,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'skilled or competent.'
