Attriutively

/əˈtrɪtɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that wears down or gradually diminishes; in an attritive way (rare or potentially misspelled).

Etymology

Possibly from attritive + -ly suffix, though this appears to be an extremely rare formation or may be a variant spelling/typo of 'attributively' (a more common adverb in grammar).

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure (or possibly misspelled) that even historical dictionaries struggle with it—it might be a 'ghost word' that slipped into texts as a typo and then got copied into references!
