Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'parametric' using the productive suffix '-ally', so learners knowing the adjective can infer the adverbial form.

Etymology

Parametrically comes from parameter, which is made of para- ('beside') and metron ('measure'). Think of parameters as the 'measures beside' a problem, so to work parametrically is to study or solve something by using those set measures or variables.
