'virtually' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'virtualis,' where 'virtus' meant 'excellence' or 'power.' 'Stored' comes from Old English 'stōrian,' meaning 'to keep or guard.'

'virtually' changed from the Latin word 'virtualis' and eventually became the modern English word 'virtually.' 'Stored' evolved from the Old English 'stōrian' to the modern English 'stored.'

Initially, 'virtually' meant 'in essence or effect,' but over time it evolved to mean 'almost or nearly.' 'Stored' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to keep or guard.'
