Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the adjective 'funky', which originated in the 18th century from the Old French 'funche' (meaning musty, moldy), later evolving in African American Vernacular English in the mid-20th century to describe earthy jazz rhythms and eventually eccentric style. The adverbial suffix '-ly' was added in the late 20th century to describe the manner of exhibiting these qualities.
