fractionally

/ˈfɹækʃənəɫi/, /ˈfɹækʃnəɫi/ adv

In a fractional manner

Word Origin Fraction comes from Latin frangere 'to break' — so a fraction is literally a broken piece of a whole. The adverb fractionally means by a tiny broken-off amount. The same root gives us fracture (a break), fragment (a broken piece), fragile (easily broken), and even refract (break back, as light).
