conventionally

/kənˈvɛnʃənəɫi/ adv

Ordinarily, by convention.

Word Origin Conventionally comes from convention, from Latin convenire 'to come together, assemble.' The root venire 'to come' gives us a huge family: convene, intervene, invent, prevent, event, avenue, revenue. So conventionally means 'in a way that follows what people have come together to agree upon.' The breakdown con+vent+ion+al+ly shows the layers: come together, the noun, the adjective, the adverb.
