What does it mean word for word?

φυσικά is the adverbial form of the adjective φυσικός (natural), so it literally means "naturally".

fysiká (/fisiˈka/)

The word φυσικά shares the same root as the English word 'physics', as both stem from the Ancient Greek word for 'nature'.
In some contexts, φυσικά can be used ironically to point out something so obvious that it does not need to be mentioned. This is similar to how an English speaker might say 'obviously' with a specific tone.
A Greek speaker might pair φυσικά with a nod of the head or a slight shrug to emphasize the obviousness of a statement. The gesture transforms the word from a simple 'yes' into a statement of fact.

Φυσικά κάθε θρησκεία έχει τους δικούς της κανόνες.
Of course every religion has its own rules.
This sentence shows how to use φυσικά when stating a general truth.
