Syntaxiom

democratically

/ˌdɛməˈkɹætɪkɫi/ adv

In a democratic way; according to the principles of democracy.

Word Origin From Greek 'demos' 'people' and 'kratos' 'power, rule' — so democracy is 'rule by the people'. 'Democratically' is the adverb. The root 'demos' gives us 'demography', 'epidemic' (among the people), 'pandemic' (all people), 'endemic' (in the people). 'Kratos' gives us 'autocrat', 'aristocrat', 'bureaucrat', 'plutocrat', 'technocrat'. So democratically means 'in a way that is by the people'.
