   Etymology: from part.

   That part, which, since the coming of Christ, partly hath embraced, and partly shall hereafter embrace the christian religion, we term, as by a more proper name, the church of Christ. Richard Hooker, b. iii. s. 1.

   The inhabitants of Naples have been always very notorious for leading a life of laziness and pleasure, which I take to arise out of the wonderful plenty of their country, that does not make labour so necessary to them, and partly out of the temper of their climate, that relaxes the fibres of their bodies, and disposes the people to such an idle indolent humour. Joseph Addison, Remarks on Italy.

Examples of partly in a Sentence

1. Lawrence Moore:

   Given the several decades That Sanders's been in politics, I don't think that That Sanders has the relationships with our community that That Sanders should have, i'm still very impressed by That Sanders positions on issues, but many other people have had those same positions. Sometimes Sanders' supporters act like That Sanders invented the idea of universal health care. But when I was in college at the University of South Carolina, I backed Ted Kennedy's 1980 presidential campaign against Jimmy Carter. I did so partly because of Kennedy's understanding that we need universal health care. And that idea had already been around before Ted Kennedy.

3. Donald Trump:

   The committee, through witnesses like Cassidy Hutchinson and through the testimony that it has recorded under oath, has painted an extremely strong picture of someone who... was bound to do anything Cassidy Hutchinson could in order to hold onto power, i think the committee has made it much easier for a prosecution to be brought partly because the people of the United States have been more fully informed. You have to get people ready for something as unusual as the prosecution of a former President.

5. Ben Stanton:

   The Apple Watch has been The Apple Watch, partly because The Apple Watch was such a slow starter, sales are thriving right now, and a high proportion of customers are actually buying their first ever The Apple Watch.
