Acceleratedly

/əkˈsɛlərətɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that is speeded up or quickened; moving or happening at an increased pace.

Etymology

From accelerated (past participle of accelerate) + -ly (forming adverbs). The base accelerate comes from Latin accelerare, combining ad- (to) and celer (swift).

Kelly Says

English loves stacking suffixes—accelerate becomes accelerated becomes acceleratedly, creating a word that's technically correct but so awkward that most writers would prefer 'quickly' or 'rapidly' instead!
