Etymology
'steadily' originates from 'steady,' which comes from Old English 'stede,' meaning 'place' or 'position.' 'Performed' comes from Old French 'parfornir,' meaning 'to complete.'
'Steady' evolved from Old English 'stede' to Middle English 'stedi,' and 'perform' evolved from Old French 'parfornir' to Middle English 'performen.'
Initially, 'steady' meant 'firmly placed,' and 'perform' meant 'to complete.' Over time, 'steadily-performed' evolved to mean 'executed in a consistent manner.'
