Coordinately

/koʊˈɔːrdɪnɪtli/ adverb

Definition

In a coordinated manner; in a way that shows proper organization and cooperation between parts or people.

Etymology

From coordinate (via Latin 'coordinatus') plus the adverbial suffix -ly. The suffix transforms the adjective into an adverb describing how an action is performed.

Kelly Says

Dance ensembles move coordinately, and so do ecosystems—but what's fascinating is that neither requires central control. Coordination emerges from feedback and mutual adjustment, a principle from biology to ballroom.
