In an upward or ascending manner; with increasing intensity, power, or elevation; in a climbing or rising direction.
Formed from 'ascending' (the present participle of 'ascend') plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' This creates an adverb describing the manner of upward movement or increasing strength.
This adverb is most common in musical and mathematical contexts—think of an 'ascending scale' played 'ascendingly,' where pitches progressively rise, creating the sense of upward motion through sound.
