Definition
In a polite, courteous, and respectful manner; in accordance with the rules of civil conduct.
Etymology
From the adjective 'civil' (from Latin 'civilis') plus the adverb-forming suffix '-ly.' It originally meant 'in a manner befitting a citizen,' then evolved to mean 'politely and courteously.'
Kelly Says
When we say someone 'civilly declined' an invitation, we mean they were polite about it—the word 'civil' itself comes from 'civis' (citizen), reminding us that being civil is literally about how citizens should treat each other.
