phonetically

/fəˈnɛtɪkɫi/ adv

In the way it sounds, particularly: written to describe the sound rather than the dictionary spelling.

Word Origin From Greek phōnē 'sound, voice' — phonetically means 'in a way that relates to speech sounds.' The chain of suffixes -etic, -al, -ly builds the adverb. The same root gives us telephone (far sound), symphony (sounding together), and microphone (small sound).
