'anthologically' originates from 'English', specifically the word 'anthological', where the suffix '-ly' meant 'in the manner of'.

'anthological' developed from the noun 'anthology', which comes from Greek 'anthologia' (ἀνθολογία) meaning 'a gathering of flowers' (a metaphorical 'collection'); 'anthologia' passed into Medieval/Modern Latin and Old French as 'anthologie' and then into English as 'anthology', after which English formed 'anthological' and then 'anthologically'.

Initially, the Greek root referred literally to a 'gathering of flowers'; over time it came to mean 'a collection of literary pieces', and now 'anthologically' means 'in a manner related to an anthology' (pertaining to how selections are collected or presented).
