Etymology

Analytically comes from the same root as analyze and analysis, and from the Greek parts ana- meaning 'apart' and lyein meaning 'to loosen', so it gives the image of 'loosening' something into parts. That's why to think analytically is to break a problem into small pieces and study them carefully.
