Etymology

The word "academically" traces back to the Greek "Akadēmeia," the name of Plato’s school of philosophy, derived from the Athenian grove "Akadēmos." The Latin "academicus" later referred to scholarly pursuits. The suffix "-al" (from Latin "-alis") forms adjectives, and "-ly" (Old English "-līc") converts adjectives into adverbs. Thus, "academically" literally means "in an educational/scholarly manner."
