causally

English

Etymology

causal +‎ -ly

Adverb

causally

1. In a causal manner.
   • 2014, Volker Meja, Nico Stehr, Knowledge and Politics:

     Sometimes the attempt was made to reduce the inner to the outer world (Condillac, Mach, Avenarius, materialism); sometimes the outer to the inner world (Descartes, Berkeley, Fichte); sometimes the sphere of the absolute to the others (e.g., by trying to infer causally the essence and existence of something divine in general);

Usage notes

• Hasty readers can easily misread causal as casual (or vice versa) and causally as casually (or vice versa). Writers can consider using causative and causatively instead, as they often will work interchangeably and may reduce hasty misreadings.
