Echowise

/ˈɛkoʊwaɪz/ adverb

Definition

In the manner of an echo; in a way that resembles or is guided by echo principles.

Etymology

From 'echo' + '-wise' (Old English suffix meaning 'in the direction or manner of'). This rare formation follows the pattern of words like 'likewise' and 'clockwise.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-wise' appears in directional words like 'clockwise' and 'lengthwise,' but 'echowise' is so rare that even major dictionaries barely acknowledge it—it's a ghost word that almost nobody uses.
