economically

the word 'economically' is built upon the ancient greek concept of oikonomia, which literally meant "management of a household" (oikos for house, nomos for law or management). this practical, domestic sense of resource stewardship was broadened in latin and later european languages to encompass the management of a community's or nation's resources. the adjectival suffix -ic was attached to form 'economic', relating to this sphere of management. finally, the adverbial suffix -ally was added, creating a word that describes actions performed with careful resource management or in a manner pertaining to the systems of production and consumption.
