reactively

/ɹiːˈæk.tɪv.li/ adv

In relation to or by means of a reaction.

Word Origin 'React' is from 're-' (back) + 'act' (do) — to do back, to respond. 'Reactively' means in a responsive manner. The root 'agere' is a powerhouse: it gives us 'action', 'actor', 'exact' (drive out, demand), 'transaction' (drive across, business deal). So reactively is doing something back, driven by a prior action.
