intelligently
UK: ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒəntli | US: ɪnˈtɛlədʒəntli
adv. in a manner showing intelligence, good judgment, or quick understanding
adv. in a way that is clever or resourceful
The word "intelligently" derives from the Latin root intelligere ("to understand"), composed of inter- ("between") + legere ("to choose, read"). Over time, intelligent- evolved in English to mean "having intellect or sharp mental capacity." The suffix -ly (from Old English -lice) converts adjectives into adverbs, indicating manner. Thus, "intelligently" literally means "in a way that demonstrates understanding or mental acuity."
