colonially

/kəˈɫoʊniəɫli/ adv

In a colonial manner.

Word Origin Colonially traces back to Latin colere, meaning 'to till the soil' — the original colonists were farmers cultivating new land. That's why colony and agriculture share the same root: both are about cultivating, whether land or settlements. The PIE root *kwel- also gives us culture (what is cultivated in society) and even wheel (something that turns, like a plow). So colonially carries the idea of establishing and cultivating a new place.

adv In a colonial manner.

The building was designed colonially, with large verandas and symmetrical windows.
