diligently

/ˈdɪɫədʒəntɫi/ adv

In a diligent manner, with appropriate effort, carefully.

Word Origin Diligently comes from 'diligent', which is from Latin 'diligere' — 'di-' (apart) and 'legere' (to choose, pick). Originally it meant 'to pick out, to value highly', hence to be careful and attentive. The -ly makes it an adverb. The same root 'legere' gives us elect (pick out), select (pick apart), collect (gather together), intelligent (choosing between), and lecture (a reading). So diligently means acting with careful selection and attention.
