democratically
UK: ˌdeməˈkrætɪkli | US: ˌdeməˈkrætɪkli
adv. in a manner consistent with democracy; characterized by equality and participation
adv. through democratic processes or principles
The word traces back to Greek dēmokratia (dēmos "people" + kratos "rule"), entering English via French démocratique. The morpheme demo- preserves the Greek root for "people," while -crat reflects governance. The suffix -ical forms adjectives, and -ly converts them into adverbs. The term evolved from describing systems of governance (democracy) to characterizing actions performed in such systems (democratically).
