characteristically

/ˌkɛɹəktɝˈɪstɪkɫi/ adv B1

typically

Word Origin From Greek kharaktēr 'engraved mark' — originally a stamp or imprint that makes something distinct. That's why character is your distinctive moral stamp, and characteristically means 'in a way that is typical of that stamp.' The same root gives us characterize, characteristic, and uncharacteristic. The PIE root *ǵʰer- meant 'to scratch, carve,' so you can almost see the engraving tool.
