/əˈdrɪp/ adverb

In a dripping condition; characterized by continuous small drips or drops.

Etymology

From 'a-' (in a state of) + 'drip,' forming an adverbial phrase describing the condition of dripping.

Kelly Says

Like many 'a-' prefix words in English (asleep, afire, ablaze), 'adrip' creates a sense of being in an ongoing state or condition—though it's rarely used in modern English.
