Root Explanation

Mythologically → It is formed from "myth" (from Greek "mythos", meaning story or tale) and "-logy" (from Greek "logia", meaning study or discourse) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner).

Memory Tip

Think of 'myth' as a 'story' and '-logy' as the 'study of' — so when you hear 'mythologically', imagine discussing stories in a scholarly way.
