In a manner that involves sticking or combining parts together; in the way characteristic of agglutinative languages.
From agglutinative + -ly (Old English -lice) adverb-forming suffix. Converts the adjective to specify manner or method.
When linguists describe how Finnish or Hungarian works 'agglutinatively,' they're pointing out that these languages never have the messy fusions that Latin and English do—each grammatical piece stays distinct and stackable, like LEGO blocks instead of melted plastic.
