righteously

/ˈɹaɪtʃəsɫi/ adv

In a righteous manner.

Word Origin Righteously comes from righteous, from right + -eous (a Latin-ish suffix). Right is from Old English riht 'straight, just,' from PIE *reg- 'to move in a straight line, rule.' That root gives us regal, rule, direct, correct, and rectum (straight intestine). So righteously means 'in a morally straight manner.'
