systemically
Affecting the whole
Systemically means throughout an entire system rather than in isolated parts.
In medicine, a drug administered systemically affects the whole body, not just one area: The infection had spread systemically.
In social contexts, systemically describes problems embedded in institutions rather than caused by individuals: Communities that have been systemically disadvantaged.
