In a commercial manner: a manner pertaining to commerce.
"The company decided to market its product commercially to maximize profit margins."
In plain English: Something done commercially is created or sold to make money instead of just for fun or personal use.
"The new product was commercially successful in its first month on the market."
Usage: Use commercially when describing actions taken with the primary goal of making money or promoting products, such as selling an item commercially rather than donating it. This adverb often contrasts with non-profit contexts where financial gain is not the objective.
The word commercially comes from combining the adjective commercial with the suffix -ly to form an adverb. It entered English by attaching a common grammatical ending to describe actions done for business purposes.
