Etymology: "Unifyingly" is formed from "unifying," the present participle of the verb "unify," plus the adverbial suffix "-ly." The verb "unify" comes from Latin "unificare," a blend of "unus" (one) and "facere" (to make), so it means literally "to make into one." English adopted the verb in the sense of joining separate parts into a single whole. The adverb builds on that sense. Where "unify" describes making separate things one, "unifyingly" describes acting in a way that brings people or parts together. A group might be led unifyingly, meaning the leader's manner or choices draw members into common purpose, so the adverb carries the verb's core idea of oneness into the manner of an action.

Synonyms: cohesively, unifying, integratively, harmoniously, convergently
