'significantly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'significare,' where 'signum' meant 'sign' and 'facere' meant 'to make.' 'Updated' comes from the Latin 'up-' meaning 'up' and 'datare' meaning 'to give a date.'

'significantly' changed from the Old French word 'significatif' and eventually became the modern English word 'significantly.' 'Updated' evolved from the Middle English 'updaten,' which was influenced by the Latin 'updatare.'

Initially, 'significantly' meant 'in a way that is meaningful,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to a great extent.' 'Updated' originally meant 'to bring up to date,' which remains largely unchanged.
