nocturnally

/nɑkˈtɝnəɫli/ adv

During the night.

Word Origin From Latin 'noct-' meaning 'night' — so nocturnally is doing something by night. The same root hides in equinox, literally 'equal night', when day and night are balanced. You can also see it in fortnight, originally 'fourteen nights'. The PIE root *nokʷt- is the ancient word for night.
