📚 Etymology▼
Comes from the Spanish adjective 'extremo' (meaning 'extreme' or 'outermost'), which itself comes from the Latin word *extremus*. The ending '-mente' is a common Spanish way of forming adverbs, tracing back to the Latin word *mente* ('mind' or 'manner'). So, it literally means 'in an extreme manner.'
First recorded: Medieval Spanish period, following the pattern of Latin adverbs.
