manually

/ˈmænjuəɫi/ adv

By hand.

Word Origin From Latin 'manualis', from 'manus' 'hand' — so manual means 'of the hand'. 'Manually' is the adverb. The root 'manus' gives us 'manage' (to handle), 'manager', 'manacle' (handcuff), 'mandate' (put into hand, command), 'command', 'demand', 'emancipate' (take from hand, free), 'maintain' (hold by hand), 'maneuver' (hand work), 'manifest' (struck by hand, obvious), 'manipulate', 'manufacture' (hand-made), 'manuscript' (hand-written), 'manicure' (hand care). So manually is 'by hand'.
