incremental
意味: Relating to or denoting an increase or addition, especially one of a series of small amounts.
Incremental describes a process of gradual, step-by-step change rather than dramatic transformation. 'Incremental improvements,' 'incremental progress,' and 'incremental costs' are standard business and academic collocations. In software development, 'incremental development' means building a product in small stages. The word can carry a slightly dismissive tone when contrasted with 'transformative' or 'radical' — suggesting change that is too slow or cautious.
