ingeniously

/ˌɪnˈdʒinjəsɫi/ adv

In an ingenious manner; using ingenuity.

Word Origin Ingeniously comes from Latin ingenium, which meant 'inborn talent' — literally 'in' + 'gen' (birth). So an ingenious person has natural cleverness. The same root gen- gives us generate (to produce), genetic (relating to birth), and engineer (someone who contrives, from the same idea of innate skill). Ingeniously is the adverb: doing something with that inborn cleverness.
