clerically

/ˈkɫɛɹəkəɫli/ adv

In a clerical manner; as a cleric.

Word Origin Clerically comes from Greek kleros, meaning 'lot' or 'share' — originally referring to the portion of land allotted to a priest. That's why clerical work was historically associated with church record-keeping. The same root gives us anticlerical (opposed to church authority) and clerkship, all tied to the idea of an assigned role or inheritance.
