Root Explanation

Axiologically → It is formed from "axiology" (from Greek "axios", meaning worthy or value, and "logia", meaning study or discourse) and the suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "axiologically" refers to something that relates to the study of values or worth.

Memory Tip

Think of 'axios' meaning worthy and 'logia' meaning study — so when you hear 'axiologically', remember it relates to the study of what is valuable.
