administratively

/ædˌmɪnəˈstɹeɪtɪvɫi/ adv

In an administrative manner, or for purposes of administration.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to' and ministrare 'to serve' — so to administer is literally to serve toward something, to manage by serving. The root ministr- also gives us minister (a servant-leader) and minus (less, because a servant is lesser). The breakdown ad+ministr+ate+ive+ly shows the layers: the verb administrate, adjective administrative, adverb administratively. The PIE root *mei- 'small' is the surprising link: administration originally meant serving in a subordinate role.
