In a way that shows the usual characteristics of a particular person, thing, or group; normally or generally.
From Greek 'typos' meaning 'impression' or 'figure,' which evolved through Latin 'typicus' and French 'typique.' The English adverbial form emerged in the 17th century, originally used in printing contexts before broadening to describe characteristic patterns or behaviors.
