Etymology
Nationalistically comes from nation, which first meant 'people' or 'birth', and you can see the same root in national. The endings -al, -istic and -ally turn it into 'in a way that shows strong support for your country', so nationalistically means acting to proudly support your nation, often putting it above others.
