Word origin
The word 'bureaucratically' is derived from the noun 'bureaucracy', which comes from the French word 'bureaucratie'. The term originated in the early 19th century to describe a system of government in which most of the important decisions are made by state officials rather than by elected representatives. Over time, 'bureaucracy' has evolved to refer to any large administrative system characterized by excessive red tape, rigid hierarchy, and excessive procedures. 'Bureaucratically' is the adverb form of 'bureaucracy', often used to describe actions or processes that are bureaucratic in nature.
