Etymology

From 'boldhearted' (adjective) plus the adverb suffix '-ly,' creating an adverb that describes how an action is performed. Follows the standard pattern of adjective-to-adverb conversion in English.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to 'boldhearted' shows how English builds complexity by stacking suffixes—you start with 'heart,' add '-ed' to create 'hearted,' add 'bold' to make 'boldhearted,' then add '-ly' for the adverb form!
