professionally

/pɹəˈfɛʃənəɫi/, /pɹəˈfɛʃnəɫi/ adv

In a professional manner.

Word Origin Professionally comes from 'professional', which goes back to Latin professio 'a public declaration', from pro- 'forward, publicly' and fateri 'to confess, acknowledge'. Originally, a profession was a calling that one publicly declared, like a religious vow. Over time, it came to mean any occupation requiring specialized knowledge. The same root gives us professor (one who professes knowledge), confess (declare together), and fabulous (from fari 'to speak', related to fateri). So acting professionally is acting as one who has publicly declared their skill.
