Diductively

/daɪˈdʌktɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner involving the drawing apart or separation of structures.

Etymology

Formed from 'diductive' (adjective form of diduction) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly', following standard English patterns for creating adverbs from adjectives.

Kelly Says

Most adverbs ending in '-ly' come from common adjectives, but 'diductively' is rare because 'diductive' itself is a technical term used mainly by anatomists and biologists—it's a word within a word that few people ever need.
