Darwinically

/dɑːrˈwɪnɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner consistent with or according to the principles of Darwinian evolution and natural selection.

Etymology

From 'Darwinical' plus '-ly' (adverb suffix), creating an adverb form describing how something operates or is understood.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to the already-long 'darwinical' creates a mouth-filling word—it shows how English can technically express complex ideas but sometimes produces unwieldy results!
