Auditorily

/ɔːˈdɪtəɹɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to hearing or through the auditory sense; by listening rather than by seeing.

Etymology

From auditory (relating to hearing/sound) + -ly (adverb suffix). Auditory itself comes from Latin audire (to hear), so auditorily means 'in a hearing/listening manner.'

Kelly Says

When you learn something 'auditorily' you're learning by ear—this is why some people are auditory learners who need to hear information to understand it, unlike visual learners!
