Formed by adding '-ly' to 'architectural', but the technical/organizational sense is a metaphorical extension from building design and may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Architecturally comes from the same roots as architect, with Greek parts arkhi- 'chief' and -tekton 'builder'. A helpful way to remember the tech meaning is to imagine the chief builder planning the whole structure of a system, so architecturally means 'in a way that concerns the overall design or organization of a system'.
