In every way, manner, or direction; from every perspective or approach.
Compound of 'every' and 'way' (Old English 'weg', path or direction). This archaic adverbial formation creates a distributor meaning 'in all possible ways'.
Medieval and Renaissance writers loved 'everyway'—it appears in Shakespeare—but modern English found it easier to say 'in every way' as two words, showing how English streamlines redundant formations over time!
