Entitatively

/ɛnˈtɪtətɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to or concerning the nature of existence as an independent entity.

Etymology

From 'entitative' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives to adverbs. This creates a way to describe how something exists or functions as an independent being.

Kelly Says

This is the kind of word that makes philosophy professors sound impressively strange at dinner parties—it means 'in terms of actual existence,' but almost nobody uses it outside academic papers!
