'symptomatically' originates from the Greek word 'symptōma,' where 'sym-' meant 'together' and 'ptōma' meant 'falling.'

'symptōma' transformed into the Late Latin word 'symptoma,' and eventually became the modern English word 'symptom' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'a happening or occurrence,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a sign or indication of a condition.'
