orally
This term is used in two distinct professional registers: linguistics/communication and medicine. In a communicative context, it describes the transmission of information via speech, often contrasting with written records. It carries a connotation of immediacy or informality, though it can also refer to formal spoken agreements.
In a medical or pharmacological context, the word is a technical specification for the route of administration. It indicates that a substance is taken by mouth to be absorbed by the digestive system, distinguishing it from topical, intravenous, or inhaled methods.
