introspectively

/ˌɪntɹəˈspɛktɪvli/ adv

In an introspective manner.

Word Origin 'Introspective' means looking inward — from 'intro-' (inward) and 'specere' (to look). So 'introspectively' means in a self-examining way. The 'specere' root is everywhere: 'inspect' (look into), 'respect' (look back at), 'prospect' (look forward), 'spectacle' (something to look at), and 'expect' (look out for). The PIE root *spek- means to observe.
