Telepathically

/ˌtɛləˈpæθɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner supposedly involving direct mind-to-mind communication without speaking or writing; by perceived thought transference.

Etymology

From Greek 'tele' (far) and 'pathos' (feeling), combined with '-ic' and '-ally' to create the adverbial form. The word was coined in the late 19th century during a period of intense interest in paranormal phenomena.

Kelly Says

Telepathy remains scientifically unproven, but the *desire* for it reveals something deep about human nature—we want to skip language's limitations and share consciousness directly, which is funny because our brains are actually so different that perfect telepathy might be impossible anyway.
