Bureaucratically

/ˌbjʊərəˈkrætɪkəli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner involving or characteristic of bureaucratic procedures and excessive officialdom.

Etymology

From bureaucratical + -ly adverb suffix, creating the adverbial form.

Kelly Says

Adding multiple suffixes (-crat, -ical, -ly) creates a word that's almost a parody of itself—longer words feel more official, making bureaucrats love them.
