Same family: study, studies, studying, studious, studiously. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Studied” comes from the Latin word *studium*, meaning “eagerness” or “zeal.” Over time, English extended the sense so that a “studied” action is one done with careful thought and deliberate intention, not something spontaneous.
