intangibly

/ˌɪnˈtændʒəbɫi/ adv

In an intangible manner.

Word Origin From Latin in- 'not' and tangere 'to touch' — literally 'not touchable.' Intangibly is the adverb. The root tangere gives us tangible, tact, tactile, tangent, contact, intact, contagion, attain, taste, and tax. The PIE root *tag- meant 'to touch, handle,' so intangible things are those you can't get a handle on.
