kinesthetically

The word 'kinesthetically' is built upon the foundation of 'kinaesthesia', a 19th-century scientific term. Its first element, 'kines-', originates from the Greek kinēsis, meaning 'movement', which itself traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root keie-, 'to set in motion'. The second element, '-thet-', is derived from Greek aisthēsis, meaning 'sensation' or 'perception', from the PIE root awis-, 'to perceive'. Combined, they form 'kinaesthesia', the literal 'perception of movement'. The modern adverb 'kinesthetically' adds the standard adverbial suffix '-ically' to the adjective form, creating a term that describes an action performed in a manner relating to this internal bodily sense.
