conventionally
UK: kənˈvɛnʃənəli | US: kənˈvɛnʃənəli
adv. in a way that follows traditional or widely accepted practices
adv. as a matter of convention; not originally or innovatively
The word "conventionally" traces back to the Latin conventio (a meeting or agreement), derived from convenire (to come together). The root convention evolved in English to denote formal agreements or customary practices. The suffix -al turns it into an adjective ("conventional"), and -ly further adapts it into an adverb. The term reflects societal norms—actions "coming together" through shared habits rather than individuality.
