The adverb is a regular adjectival-to-adverbial formation from 'probabilistic' (itself clearly related to 'probable'/'probability'), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Probabilistically comes from an old Latin word probare meaning 'to prove' and the English root probable meaning 'likely'. So, to do something probabilistically is to do it in a way that uses 'chance' or 'likelihood' rather than a sure result.
