experimentally
By trial methods
Experimentally means by means of experiment or as an experiment.
Scientists test hypotheses experimentally rather than accepting them on theoretical grounds alone: The drug was experimentally verified to reduce symptoms.
The word also describes trying something to see what happens: We added cumin experimentally, not knowing if it would work.
