correctively

/kɝˈɛktɪvli/ adv

In a corrective manner; so as to correct something.

Word Origin Correct comes from Latin corrigere, literally 'to make straight' — from regere 'to lead straight.' Correctively means in a way that corrects or sets right. The same root regere gives us direct, erect, regular, and rectangle. The breakdown cor+rect+ive+ly shows: together + straight + tending to + in a manner.
