adv. in a manner relating to theology or the study of religious doctrines
adv. with regard to the nature of God and religious truth
The word "theologically" traces back to Greek roots. "Theo-" derives from the Greek "theos" (god), while "-logy" comes from "logos" (study or discourse). The suffix "-ical" forms adjectives, and "-ly" converts them into adverbs. The term evolved through Late Latin ("theologia") and Old French ("theologie") before entering English, retaining its core meaning of systematic religious study. The layered structure reflects the word's academic and analytical nature.
