Cotemporaneously

/ˌkoʊtɛmpərˈeɪniəsli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that occurs or exists at the same time; simultaneously or concurrently.

Etymology

From cotemporaneous plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. This adverbial form transforms the adjective into a way of describing how actions or events occur together in time.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to adjectives to make adverbs is one of English's simplest tricks, but words like this show how it lets us describe the timing of multiple events with precision—everything happens cotemporaneously!
