erectly

/ɪˈɹɛktli/ adv

In an erect manner

Word Origin Erect comes from Latin 'e-' 'out, up' + 'regere' 'to guide, rule' — literally 'to guide upward,' to set upright. Erectly means 'in an upright manner.' The root 'reg-' gives us direct (guide straight), correct (guide together), rectify (make right), rectangle (right angle), and regal (kingly, ruling). The PIE root *reg- is about straight lines and ruling.
