Etymology

**Etymology of “drôlement”** “Drôlement” is formed from the French adjective *drôle* (meaning “funny, comical”) plus the adverbial suffix *‑ment*. *Drôle* itself comes from Old French *drol*, borrowed from Anglo‑French *drol*, which in turn derives from a Germanic root *drol-* meaning “to jest or joke” (cf. Middle English *droll*). The word entered Middle French in the 13th century and the adverbial form *drôlement* developed in the Early Modern period.
