Etymology: "Ichthyologically" is a plain formation: the adverb is built from "ichthyological" with the suffix "-ly" added to turn the adjective into an adverb. The adjective itself is the piece that carries the history. It is formed from "ichthyology," the study of fish, which combines the Greek "ikhthys," meaning fish, with "-logia," meaning the study of something. The adverb therefore describes doing something in a way that relates to that field of study, most often in reference to how fish are scientifically analysed or classified.
