In terms of degrees; measured or expressed by degrees; with regard to the level or degree of something.
From degree + -wise (suffix meaning 'in the manner of' or 'with respect to'). Similar to words like 'clockwise' or 'lengthwise,' it indicates a method of measurement or direction.
This technical adverb appears in specialized fields like surveying and astronomy where precise angular measurements matter—'degreewise, the error was only 0.5 percent.'
