artificially

/ˌɑɹtəˈfɪʃəɫi/ adv B2 ✓

By or because of human effort.

Word Origin From Latin ars 'skill' and facere 'to make' — artificial means 'made by human skill,' and artificially is the adverb. The same roots give us artifact (made by art), artifice (clever craft), and artist. The facere root also yields manufacture (made by hand).
