Continuately

/kənˈtɪn.u.eɪt.li/ adverb

Definition

In a continuous or continuing manner; in a way that extends or makes continuous.

Etymology

From continuate (verb) plus -ly suffix. This is an extremely rare term, reflecting the archaic status of continuate itself.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that even spell-checkers might flag it—it's a perfect example of how English sheds archaic forms that become redundant. Why say continuately when 'continuously' works better?
