acrostically

/ækɹˈɑstɪkli/ adv

In the manner of an acrostic.

Word Origin Acrostic comes from Greek akrostikhis 'at the tip of the verse,' from akron 'tip' + stikhos 'row, line.' An acrostic is a poem where the first letters of each line spell a word. Acrostically means in the manner of an acrostic. The root akron 'tip' gives us acrobat (tip-toe walker), acronym (tip-name), and acropolis (city on the tip, high city). The root stikhos also gives us distich (two lines) and hemistich (half line).

adv In the manner of an acrostic.
