idiomatically

/ˌɪdiəˈmætɪkəli/ adv

With regard to idiomaticness; as analyzed with idiomatic meaning taken into account.

Word Origin From Greek idios 'one's own' — an idiom is a phrase peculiar to a language, and idiomatically means 'in an idiomatic way.' The root idios also gives us idiot (originally a private person) and idiosyncrasy. The breakdown idiom+atic+al+ly shows idiom-adjective-adjective-adverb, and the idea is that idioms are expressions that belong to a particular group's way of speaking.
