Formed by adding the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'sociological', a transparent derivation.
Etymology
The word sociologically comes from the Latin socius, meaning 'companion' or 'friend', and the part -logy, meaning 'study' (the same part you see in biology). So sociologically means looking at things as the 'study of people together', that is, seeing how people and groups live and relate in society.
