Adverb

intrinsically ‎(comparative more intrinsically, superlative most intrinsically)

1. In an intrinsic manner; internally; essentially.
   • 1918, W. B. Maxwell, chapter 16, in The Mirror and the Lamp:

     The preposterous altruism too! […] Resist not evil. It is an insane immolation of self—as bad intrinsically as fakirs stabbing themselves or anchorites warping their spines in caves scarcely large enough for a fair-sized dog.
