Etymology

From 'focal' (adjective) + '-ly' (adverb-forming suffix). Means 'in a focal manner,' describing something done with focus or centralization.

Kelly Says

Medical and scientific writing uses 'focally' to describe localized phenomena—like a 'focally elevated temperature' means one specific area is hot, not the whole region—making it a precision word in diagnosis.
