racially
UK: ˈreɪʃəli | US: ˈreɪʃəli
adv. in a way that relates to race or racial differences
adv. from a perspective involving racial identity or characteristics
The word "racially" combines "racial," derived from the noun "race" (originating from the Italian "razza," meaning "breed" or "lineage"), with the adverbial suffix "-ly." The suffix "-ly" comes from Old English "-lice," used to form adverbs from adjectives. The term "race" evolved in the 16th century to denote distinct human groups, and "racial" emerged in the 19th century to describe attributes tied to these groups. "Racially" thus logically extends this to describe actions or perspectives involving race.
