Aneurysmally

/ˌænəˈrɪzməli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to, characteristic of, or affected by an aneurysm; describing actions or conditions in aneurysm-related terms.

Etymology

From aneurysmal (the adjective) plus the adverb suffix -ly, which converts the adjective into an adverbial form for describing how something occurs or manifests.

Kelly Says

This is an extremely technical and rarely-used adverb—modern doctors would never write 'the artery expanded aneurysmally,' they'd just say 'aneurysm formation occurred,' showing how medical language has evolved to be clearer and more direct.
