Morphology

directorially = directorial (transparent) = direct + or + ial + ly

Adding '-ly' to the adjective 'directorial' yields an adverb with the predictable meaning 'in a directorial manner.'

Etymology

Directorially comes from director, which in turn comes from direct meaning 'to guide'. The ending -ly turns it into 'in a ... way', so directorially means 'in a director's guiding or decision-making way', as when a company leader makes choices and guides the team.
