Continuedly

/ˈkɑntɪnjuɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a continuous manner; without interruption or break.

Etymology

From continued (adjective, from continue) + -ly. An archaic or obsolete form; modern English prefers 'continuously' or 'continually.'

Kelly Says

This is an old-fashioned adverb that modern English mostly abandoned in favor of 'continuously,' though you'll find it in 18th and 19th-century texts describing something that goes on and on without stopping.
