(geographic)
related to geography
Etymology
'geographically' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'geōgraphia,' where 'geo-' meant 'earth' and '-graphia' meant 'writing or description.'
'geōgraphia' transformed into the Latin word 'geographia,' and eventually became the modern English word 'geography,' from which 'geographically' is derived.
Initially, it meant 'writing about the earth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'related to the physical features of an area.'
