repeatedly
UK: rɪˈpiːtɪdli | US: rɪˈpiːtɪdli
adv. done or occurring many times; over and over again
The word "repeatedly" is built from the verb "repeat," which comes from the Latin repetere (re- "again" + petere "seek, attack"). The suffix "-ed" marks the past participle form, turning the verb into an adjective ("repeated"), and "-ly" then converts it into an adverb, meaning "in a repeated manner." The logical progression reflects action (repeat) → state (repeated) → manner (repeatedly).
