plastically

/ˈpɫæstɪkəli/ adv

In a plastic way; through moulding; flexibly.

Word Origin From Greek 'plassein' (to mold) — plastic is the moldable material. 'Plastically' means in a moldable way. The same root gives us 'plaster' (a moldable paste for walls), 'plasma' (the moldable fluid of blood), and 'cytoplasm' (the moldable cell substance). The idea of shaping is central.
