Definition

In a manner of running or flowing downward; in the way that extends downward.

Etymology

From 'decurrent' (flowing downward) plus the adverbial '-ly' suffix.

Kelly Says

This adverb is almost never used in modern English, but it would describe something like how water decurrently flows downhill or how a decurrent leaf decurrently extends toward the root.
