In a communicative manner; in a way that effectively conveys information or feelings.
From 'communicative' (Latin communicativus) plus -ly (adverbial suffix). Standard formation used since the 1600s.
Studies show that 'communicatively competent' people share information more effectively than intelligent people—which is why negotiators and diplomats are trained in communication technique rather than just given facts.
