bureaucratically

/ˈbjʊɹəˌkɹætɪkəli/ adv C1 ✓

In a bureaucratic manner.

Word Origin Bureaucratically comes from 'bureaucratic', which combines French 'bureau' (desk, office) and Greek '-crat' (ruler) — literally 'rule by desks'. The adverb describes the rigid, procedural manner of bureaucracy. The same '-crat' suffix gives us democrat (rule by people), aristocrat (rule by the best), and autocrat (rule by one).
