instantaneously

/ˌɪnstənˈtæniəsɫi/ adv

Without any delay; in an instantaneous manner.

Word Origin Built on Latin instare 'to stand upon, be present' — an instant is a moment standing right there. Instantaneous means happening in that very moment, and instantaneously is the adverb. The root stare 'to stand' also gives us constant (standing firm), distance (standing apart), and exist (stand out). The breakdown in+stant+aneous+ly shows the layers.
