Causatively

/ˈkɔːzətɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that causes or produces an effect; done in a way that functions as a cause.

Etymology

From 'causative' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which transforms adjectives into adverbs describing how something is done or the manner of an action.

Kelly Says

This adverb lets philosophers and scientists describe how things work causatively—not just that A causes B, but describing the manner and nature of that causal relationship.
