environmentally

/ɪnˌvaɪɹənˈmɛnəɫi/, /ɪnˌvaɪɹənˈmɛntəɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In a manner affecting the environment.

Word Origin Environment comes from Old French environ 'around, surrounding', from en- 'in' + viron 'circle, circuit', from virer 'to turn'. So environment is literally 'that which surrounds'. Environmentally is the adverb. The root virer also gives us veer (to change direction) and vire (a turn in dancing). So environmentally is about the turning world around us.
