Root Explanation

Mundane is derived from the Latin 'mundanus' (meaning worldly or earthly), which comes from 'mundus' (meaning world). The suffix '-ly' (meaning in a manner of) transforms the adjective into an adverb. Thus, 'mundanely' means in a manner that is worldly or ordinary.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mundus' meaning world, and remember that 'mundanely' describes something done in a worldly or ordinary way.
