UK: ˈfedərəli | US: ˈfedərəli
adv. in a manner relating to a system of government where states or provinces unite under a central authority

The word "federally" derives from "federal," which traces back to the Latin "foedus" (treaty, league), combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly." "Federal" originally described alliances or unions, later specializing in political contexts to denote centralized governance systems (e.g., the U.S. federal government). The suffix "-ly" converts the adjective into an adverb, indicating manner or scope.
