Declaratorily

Definition

In a declaratory manner; by way of declaration or formal statement.

Etymology

Declaratory + -ily adverbial suffix. Declaratory comes from declare via Late Latin declaratorius.

Kelly Says

This is a magnificently rare adverb—it's technically correct but almost never used in modern English, preferring simpler alternatives like 'declaratively.' It shows how English creates elaborate word forms that eloquent speakers theoretically could use but practically don't.
