'steadily' originates from the Old English word 'stede,' meaning 'place' or 'position,' combined with the suffix '-ly' to form an adverb indicating consistency. 'Made' comes from the Old English 'macian,' meaning 'to make or create.'

'steadily' evolved from the Old English 'stede' to the modern English 'steady,' and 'made' transformed from 'macian' to 'make' in Middle English, eventually becoming 'made' in modern usage.

Initially, 'steadily' meant 'in a fixed position,' but over time it evolved to mean 'consistently or reliably.' 'Made' has largely retained its original meaning of 'created or constructed.'
