Think of socially as a word that points at one particular side of life: the side where people are with other people. Picture a room with people in it, talking, sitting together, noticing each other. Socially puts a frame around that room and says: judge this from in here. Sometimes the room is small, just you and the people you meet and like. Sometimes the walls come down and the room becomes a whole country. But it is always the same question underneath: how do things look when we look at people together rather than at one person alone?
From the word’s history
English social comes, through French, from Latin socialis, which was built on socius, a companion. The companion is still visible in the modern word: every use of socially is about people who are alongside other people.
英文的 social 經法文來自拉丁文 sociālis，而 sociālis 又是從 socius（同伴）長出來的。那個「同伴」到今天還看得見：socially 的每一個用法，講的都是「身邊有別人」的那一面。
