incrementally

/ˌɪnkɹəˈmɛntəˌɫi/ adv

In an incremental fashion; by small changes.

Word Origin From Latin in- 'in' and crescere 'to grow' — an increment is a small growth step. Incrementally means doing things in those small steps. The same root crescere gives us increase, decrease, crescent (growing moon), and concrete (grown together). The PIE root *ker- 'to grow' also underlies create and cereal.
