falling or situated in drops; falling drop by drop.
From 'ad-' (to, toward) combined with 'drop.' The prefix intensifies or focuses attention on something being in the form of or becoming drops.
Medieval and early modern English texts use 'adrop' to describe dew, tears, or poison trickling down—it's that poetic language that makes readers feel every single drop falling, one by one.
