Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how morphologically appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Although Roellobryon is morphologically similar to Rhodobryum and Rosulabryum, recent molecular studies suggest that it is closer to Mniaceae than Bryaceae.
In a typical lexicalist approach (e.g. Koontz-Garboden 2006), the unmarked lexeme is taken as lexically listed, even if its meaning (as it often does) includes templatic entailments, and the derivational morphology is taken to operate on the underived form to yield the derived form. This is the case not only morphologically, but also semantically.
Etymology
From morphological + -ly.
