One way to picture it: a person sent to speak for their country in someone else's country. Everything they do is done with care, because one word can break something between two nations. That careful, country-to-country way of handling things is what the word points at.
一個被派到別的國家、代表自己國家說話的人。他站在兩國之間，講的每一句話都不只是他自己的話——說錯一句，兩邊的關係就可能出事。所以他必須把話收好、把姿態擺好，用一種留餘地的方式處理事情。diplomatically 的畫面就從這裡出發：先是「以外交那一套方式」，後來也可以指任何人講話講得像外交官一樣圓熟。
