nautically

/ˈnɔtəkəɫli/ adv

in a nautical manner

Word Origin Nautically comes from nautical, from Greek nautēs 'sailor' and naus 'ship.' So it means 'in a manner relating to sailors or ships.' The same root gives us astronaut, aeronaut, and nautilus (the sea creature named for its sail-like shell). The breakdown naut+ic+al+ly shows the layers.
