insignificantly

/ˌɪnsɪɡˈnjɪfɪkəntli/ adv

In an insignificant manner, or to a degree that does not matter.

Word Origin A stacking of Latin signum 'sign' and facere 'to make' with the negative in- — so significant is 'making a sign, meaning something,' and insignificantly is doing so in a way that barely registers. The root sign- is incredibly productive: it gives us signal, signature, design (mark out), and assign (mark to someone). The -ly just turns the whole thing into an adverb.

adv In an insignificant manner, or to a degree that does not matter.

The error affected the results only insignificantly, so we proceeded with the analysis.

(副词) 微不足道地;无足轻重地

这个错误对结果的影响微乎其微,因此我们继续进行了分析。

(adverbio) insignificantemente; de manera insignificante; sin importancia; irrelevantemente [De manera insignificante, o en un grado que no importa.]

El error afectó los resultados de manera **insignificante**, así que procedimos con el análisis.

(adverbe) insignifiament; négligeablement; peu [D'une manière insignifiante, ou à un degré qui n'a pas d'importance.]

L'erreur n'a affecté les résultats qu'**insignificantly**, nous avons donc poursuivi l'analyse.

(Adverb) unerheblich; unbedeutend; geringfügig [auf eine Weise, die keine nennenswerte Bedeutung oder Auswirkung hat; in einem unwesentlichen Ausmaß.]

Der Fehler beeinflusste die Ergebnisse nur **insignificantly**, sodass wir mit der Analyse fortfuhren.

(副詞) 重要でない方法で、問題にならない程度に。

その誤差は結果にわずかな影響しか与えなかったため、分析を続けた。

(advérbio) insignificantemente; de modo insignificante; sem importância [De maneira insignificante, ou a um grau que não importa.]

O erro afetou os resultados apenas de forma insignificante, então prosseguimos com a análise.
