incrementally
含义: In a series of small, gradual steps or additions rather than all at once; by successive increases.
Incrementally is the go-to adverb for describing gradual, step-by-step progress or change. It is central to software development ('incrementally deployed'), business strategy ('incrementally expanding'), and policy reform ('incrementally adjusted'). The word implies deliberate, controlled progress rather than dramatic transformation. It often contrasts implicitly with 'radically' or 'wholesale' — incrementally suggests caution and measured pace.
