(adverb)
To do something with a profound sense of purpose or destiny, as if one is "called" to do it. The action is not done casually or by chance, but with a deep, almost spiritual, intentionality. It's the adverb form of having a vocation for a specific action.
Often used to describe a touch, glance, or word that is exceptionally meaningful and purposeful, far beyond its literal function.
