causally
Through cause-effect links
Causally means in a way that relates to cause and effect.
Something causally connected to an outcome played a role in bringing it about: The medication was causally linked to the side effects.
In philosophy and science, causally describes relationships where one thing directly produces or influences another, distinguishing genuine causes from mere correlations.
