'anthropomorphologically' originates from Greek elements and later English formation: from Greek 'ánthrōpos' meaning 'human' and Greek 'morphē' meaning 'form', combined into 'anthropomorph-' (meaning 'human-shaped' or 'human-form'), with the English suffixes '-ical' (forming an adjective) and '-ly' (forming an adverb).

'anthropomorphologically' developed via Late Latin/Medieval scholarly formations (e.g. Latinized 'anthropomorphus') and through Modern English formation from the adjective 'anthropomorphological' (itself from 'anthropomorphism' + '-al'), eventually yielding the adverb by adding '-ly'.

Initially the Greek roots described 'human' and 'form' (i.e. 'human form'), and the compound historically described 'having or resembling human form'; over time the meaning broadened to include attributing human traits or intentions to non-human entities, which is the current sense expressed by the adverb.
