embryonically

At earliest stage

In an embryonic manner—at the earliest stage of development, when something exists only in rudimentary or nascent form.

The word applies literally to biological embryos but more often figuratively: The idea existed only embryonically in her notes.

Something embryonically present has potential but lacks full formation.
