Amphimictically

/ˌæmfɪˈmɪktɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to or characteristic of sexual reproduction involving genetic mixing from two parents.

Etymology

From 'amphimictic' + '-ally' (adverbial suffix). This adverbial form allows description of processes or characteristics in terms of amphimictic reproduction.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ally' to scientific terms creates adverbs that describe HOW something happens—so 'amphimictically' means 'in the way of sexual reproduction,' useful for scientific descriptions.
