Centesimally

/senˌtɛsɪˈmæli/ adverb

Definition

In a centesimal manner; according to a system based on divisions of one hundred.

Etymology

From 'centesimal' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' This rare adverbial form describes how something is calculated or divided in hundredths.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to adjectives to make adverbs feels natural to English speakers, but 'centesimally' is so specialized that most people would never use it in conversation.
