rectally

/ˈɹɛktəɫli/ adv

Through the rectum.

Word Origin Rectal comes from Latin rectus 'straight,' because the rectum is the straight part of the intestine. Rectally is the adverb form. The root rectus gives us a whole family of straight words: rectangle (straight angle), rectify (make straight), direct (guide straight), and correct (make right). The PIE root *reg- 'to move in a straight line' is behind all of them.
