Computatively

/ˌkɒmpjuːˈteɪtɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to or involving computation; in a way that can be computed or calculated.

Etymology

From 'computative' (adjective) + '-ly' adverbial suffix, ultimately derived from Latin 'computare' (to calculate).

Kelly Says

This is a delightfully recursive word—describing something in a 'computatively complex' way means you're using computation to describe computation, which is exactly what happens when computer scientists write code to analyze code.
