compulsorily

/kəmpˈʌlsɔɹəli/ adv

In a compulsory manner.

Word Origin From Latin compellere 'to drive together, compel,' built from com- 'together' and pellere 'to drive.' The past participle stem puls- gives us compulsory, compulsion, compulsive. Adding -ly makes it compulsorily, meaning 'in a forced manner.' The same pellere root gives us repel, expel, impel, propel — all about driving or pushing.
