adv. in a way that relates to the planning of actions to achieve long-term goals

The word "strategically" derives from the Greek "strategos" (general, army leader), combining "stratos" (army) and "agos" (leader). The root "strateg-" evolved to mean "planning for large-scale goals." The suffix "-ic" forms adjectives (e.g., "strategic"), and "-ally" converts these into adverbs. The term reflects a progression from military command to systematic planning in broader contexts.
