The word "ascitically" is spelled as "æsɪtɪkli" in IPA phonetic transcription. The word is derived from the adjective "ascitic", which refers to the accumulation of serum in the abdominal cavity. When "ascitic" is modified to form the adverb "ascitically", the final "-ic" is changed to "-ically". This is a common spelling convention for forming adverbs from adjectives ending in "-ic". Therefore, the spelling of "ascitically" follows the standard English rule for adding the suffix "-ally" to adjectives ending in "-ic".
