symptomatically

By showing indicators

In a way that relates to or indicates symptoms.

A disease may present symptomatically through fever and fatigue.

The word also works figuratively: The policy failures were symptomatically linked to deeper institutional problems.

Something happening symptomatically suggests it reveals an underlying condition rather than being the condition itself.
