Calculatedly

/ˈkælkjʊˌleɪtɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a deliberate, planned manner that has been carefully thought out; intentionally and with forethought.

Etymology

From calculated (past participle of calculate) plus the adverbial suffix -ly. The word suggests actions done with careful consideration rather than improvisation.

Kelly Says

When something is done 'calculatedly,' it implies strategy and intentionality—like a chess player's calculated moves. Interestingly, the word is more common in descriptions of human behavior than in math contexts.
