Etymology:
Meaning:
In the same way, similarly, or in addition.
Origin:
The term "likewise" evolved from the Old English word "gelīce," which literally means "in the same way." It is a compound word formed from the prefix "ge-" (meaning "together" or "with") and the adjective "līc" (meaning "like" or "similar").
Over time, "gelīce" underwent phonological changes, becoming "ilike" in Middle English before finally developing into the modern form "likewise." The term has been used as an adverb since the 13th century to indicate similarity or addition.
