Etymology

The word "technologically" traces back to Greek roots:

  • "techno" (τέχνη) originally meant "art, craft, or skill."
  • "logy" (λογία) denoted "study" or "discourse."
    Combined as "technology," it evolved to mean "systematic treatment of an art or craft," later narrowing to its modern sense of applied science. The suffix "-ical" forms adjectives, and "-ly" converts them into adverbs. Thus, "technologically" describes actions performed with or through technology.
