spherically

/ˈsfɛɹɪkəɫli/ adv

In the manner of a sphere or globe.

Word Origin From Greek 'sphaira' meaning 'ball, globe'. 'Spherical' (with -ic and -al) means shaped like a sphere. Then -ly makes it an adverb: in a spherical manner. The same root gives us hemisphere (half-sphere), atmosphere (vapor sphere), biosphere (life sphere), and spheroid (sphere-like). So spherically means in a round, globe-like way.
