Syntaxiom

schematically

/skɪˈmætɪkəli/ adv

In the manner of a schematic. Drawn or described rather than an example.

Word Origin From Greek skhēma 'form, figure' — so schematically means 'in a diagram-like form', reducing something to its basic shape. The root skhēma also gives us scheme (a plan, a form) and, through a different path, the sci- in science, conscience, and omniscient, all from the PIE *skeh₂- meaning 'to hold, have'. The breakdown schema+tic+al+ly shows the layers: schema (form) + tic (adjective) + al (adjective) + ly (adverb) — a great example of how Greek roots spread.
