In a way that relates to or is driven by feelings rather than logic or reason.
From 'emotion,' which comes from Latin 'emovere' (to stir up), combining 'e-' (out) and 'movere' (to move). The '-ally' suffix was added to create the adverb form.
Your emotions literally 'move you out'—the Latin root suggests that feelings actually displace or stir your normal thinking, which is why we say someone is 'moved' by a story or 'emotionally driven.'
