creatively
UK: kriˈeɪtɪvli | US: kriˈeɪtɪvli
adv. in a way that involves imagination or original ideas
adv. with the ability to produce artistic or inventive work
The word "creatively" derives from the root "create," which originates from the Latin creare (to produce, bring forth). The suffix "-ive" forms adjectives indicating a tendency or capacity (e.g., active, passive), while "-ly" converts adjectives into adverbs. Thus, "creatively" literally means "in a manner related to creation," evolving to emphasize imaginative or original action.
