In a sharp, keen, or clever manner; with acute observation or witty reasoning.
From Latin 'argutus' (sharp, clear) combined with the English adverbial suffix '-ly,' forming an adverb from the adjective 'argute.'
By adding '-ly' to 'argute,' speakers could describe how someone *did* something with intelligence and wit—someone might speak 'argutely' to show off their clever reasoning, making the adverb itself sound a bit witty.
