'technically' originates from the Greek word 'technikos,' where 'techne' meant 'art' or 'skill.'

'technikos' transformed into the Latin word 'technicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'technical,' from which 'technically' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to art or skill,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'in a manner relating to the specific details or formalities of a subject.'
