The adverb is a regular derivation formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'referential', preserving the sense 'in a manner relating to reference'.

The word referentially comes from the verb refer, which comes from the Latin parts re- ('back') and ferre ('to carry'). So to use a word referentially is to use it like a pointer, 'pointing to' or 'standing for' something else.
