graphically

The word 'graphically' is built upon the Greek root 'graph-', which means "to write, draw, or scratch."

The suffix '-ic' was added to form the adjective 'graphic', meaning "pertaining to drawing or writing." Finally, the adverbial suffix '-ally' was appended, transforming it into 'graphically', which describes the manner of something being done in a vividly descriptive or visually detailed way.
