meticulously

/məˈtɪkjəɫəsɫi/ adv

In a meticulous manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'metus' meaning fear. Meticulous originally meant fearful or timid, but the meaning shifted to overly careful about details — the idea being that a fearful person is cautious and precise. So meticulously means doing something with extreme care. The root also gives us 'meticulousness'.
