Accordantly

/əˈkɔrdəntli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that is in accord or agreement; harmoniously.

Etymology

From accordant (adjective meaning in agreement) plus -ly (the adverb-forming suffix). This creates the adverbial form indicating an action done in harmonious agreement.

Kelly Says

This adverb is rare but appears in formal or archaic writing when someone wants to describe doing something that fits naturally with something else—like 'proceeding accordantly with tradition.'
