experientially
By direct encounter
Through direct personal experience rather than theory, description, or secondhand knowledge.
Learning something experientially means encountering it yourself: The course teaches leadership experientially through simulations and group projects.
The word emphasizes felt, lived involvement over abstract understanding.
