statistically
UK: stəˈtɪstɪkli | US: stəˈtɪstɪkli
adv. in a manner relating to or based on statistics
adv. with respect to statistical analysis
The word "statistically" derives from "statistic," which originates from the German "Statistik" (meaning "data analysis"), itself rooted in the Latin "status" (state or condition). The suffix "-al" converts the noun into an adjective, and "-ly" further adapts it into an adverb. The term reflects the logical progression from raw data ("status") to systematic analysis ("statistic") and finally to the adverbial form describing how such analysis is performed.
