Futuristically

/fjuːˈtʃɪrɪstɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that is advanced, futuristic, or oriented toward the future; in a way characteristic of or looking toward future times.

Etymology

From futuristic + -ally adverbial suffix, combining Latin 'futurus' with Germanic suffixes to create an adverb.

Kelly Says

Adverbs ending in -istically can feel clunky (try saying 'futuristically' three times fast!), which is why speakers tend to rephrase as 'in a futuristic way' or 'like something from the future'—English likes its adverbs shorter.
