Expedientially

/ˌɛkspɪˈdɛnʃəli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that is based on or driven by what is convenient or practical rather than what is right or principled.

Etymology

Formed from 'expediential' plus the suffix -ly, following standard English adverb formation from adjectives.

Kelly Says

Adding -ly to an already rare word like 'expediential' makes this one of the English language's most sophisticated ways to say 'they did it the easy way instead of the right way.'
