Cogitantly

/ˈkɒdʒɪtəntli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that involves thinking, meditating, or pondering; thoughtfully.

Etymology

Derived from cogitant plus the adverbial suffix -ly, creating an adverb from the noun form. This follows the standard English pattern of turning nouns of agency into adverbs.

Kelly Says

It's rare and somewhat archaic, but when you use it, you're describing the way someone thinks deeply—it's the adverbial cousin of 'cogitate' that almost nobody remembers.
