'pedagogically' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'paidagōgikos,' where 'paida-' meant 'child' and 'agogos' meant 'leader.'

'paidagōgikos' transformed into the Latin word 'paedagogicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'pedagogical' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'related to the teaching of children,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'related to teaching or education in general.'
