inconsiderably

/ɪŋkənsˈɪdɚɹəbli/ adv

To an inconsiderable degree.

Word Origin Inconsiderably comes from 'inconsiderable' (not worth considering) + '-ly.' The root is 'consider,' from Latin 'considerare' meaning 'to observe the stars' (con- 'with' + sidus 'star'). Originally, to consider was to consult the stars for guidance. So something inconsiderable is so small it's not worth star-gazing over. Related words: 'considerate,' 'reconsider,' 'sidereal' (starry).
