Aoristically

/eɪəˈrɪstɪkli/ adverb

In a manner relating to or expressing the aorist tense; regarding something as aorist in nature.

Etymology

From 'aoristic' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' forming an adverb from the adjective describing aorist qualities.

Kelly Says

This is quintessentially academic language—only linguists and classicists use 'aoristically,' but when they do, it's a precise way of saying 'from the perspective of something being a completed, undefined action in time!'
