Root Explanation

Collegiately → It is formed from "collegium" (from Latin, meaning a society or group) and the suffix "-ate" (indicating a state or condition) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly". The word "collegiately" refers to the manner or state of being in a group or society, particularly in an academic context.

Memory Tip

Think of being part of a 'society' ('collegium') and acting in a certain 'manner' ('-ly') — that's what collegiately means.
