Etymology
Coined before 1475, from, equivalent to.

Adverb

 * 1)  In the first place; before anything else; first.

Usage notes

 * Whether it is proper to use "firstly", rather than "first", has often been disputed.
 * Beginning in the early 19th century, some have argued against the use of "firstly", advocating the sequence: "First", "secondly", "thirdly", ....
 * The usage of "firstly" is also deprecated by some modern style guides. The Chicago Manual of Style further recommends that all such -ly forms be avoided, and that list items begin only with "first", "second", and so forth.
 * Other authorities disagree.
 * The American Heritage Dictionary comments:
 * It is well established that either first or firstly can be used to begin an enumeration: Our objectives are, first (or firstly), to recover from last year's slump.
 * The Oxford English Dictionary notes the dispute but does not pass judgment: "many writers prefer first, even though closely followed by secondly, thirdly, etc."
 * "Firstly" may appear more formal than "first". "Firstly" is often recommended for the formal enumeration of arguments.
