traditionally
As long practiced
Traditionally means in accordance with long-established customs or practices: Traditionally, the bride's family pays for the wedding.
It signals how things have been done over time, often implying contrast with newer approaches: The dish is traditionally made with lard, though many now use butter.
Sometimes traditionally softens a claim, acknowledging exceptions exist.
