Etymology Information

'systematically' originates from 'system,' which comes from the Greek word 'systēma,' meaning 'organized whole,' and 'collect' from Latin 'colligere,' where 'col-' meant 'together' and 'legere' meant 'to gather.'

Historical Evolution

'systematically' evolved from the Greek 'systēma' through Latin and Old French, while 'collect' transformed from Latin 'colligere' to Old French 'collecter,' eventually becoming the modern English 'collect.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'systematically' meant 'pertaining to a system,' and 'collect' meant 'to gather together,' which has largely remained the same in modern usage.
