Etymology
Nonlinearly comes from non- meaning 'not' and linear meaning 'in a line' or 'straight'. Imagine input and output on a road: a linear road is straight and gives steady change, but a nonlinear road twists so small changes can give big or strange results, so nonlinearly means not following a simple, steady pattern.
