materialistically

/məˈtɪɹiəɫɪstɪkli/ adv

In a materialistic manner.

Word Origin From Latin materia 'matter, substance,' which originally meant 'timber' and came from mater 'mother' — the idea of the source or matrix from which things are made. Materialistically is the adverb form of materialistic, meaning focused on material things. The root mater gives us maternal, maternity, matriarch, material, and of course mother. The connection between mother and matter is surprising: both are sources of creation.
