ritualistically

/ˌɹɪtʃuəˈɫɪstɪkəɫi/, /ˌɹɪtʃuəˈɫɪstɪkɫi/ adv

Done as though following a ritual; in a ritualistic manner.'

Word Origin From Latin 'ritus' meaning religious custom or rite. The stack of suffixes -ist, -ic, -al, -ly turns 'ritual' into an adverb meaning 'in a manner characterized by ritualism.' The root also gives us 'rite', 'ritualize', and 'ritualistic'. The PIE root *h₂er- meant 'to fit together, join', which is what rituals do—they join a community in shared practice.
