concretely

/ˈkɑnˌkɹitɫi/ adv

In a concrete manner, physically, definitely

Word Origin 'Concrete' literally means 'grown together' — from 'con-' (together) and 'crescere' (to grow). The idea is of something that has solidified into a mass. The same root 'crescere' gives us 'increase' (grow in), 'decrease' (grow down), 'crescent' (growing moon), and 'recruit' (to grow again, replenish). So 'concretely' means in a solid, tangible way.
