In a way that relates to tactics or planned maneuvers designed to achieve a goal or win in a competition.
From 'tactic,' which comes from Greek 'taktikos' (meaning 'arranged' or 'ordered'), derived from 'tassein' meaning 'to arrange.' The adverbial form adds '-ally' to describe actions done in a tactical manner.
The word 'tactic' comes from the Greek root meaning 'to arrange'—literally the same origin as 'tactics' in military formations, which is why both chess moves and military strategies use this word: they're both about smart arrangement!
