premeditatedly

/pɹiˈmɛdəˌteɪtɪdli/ adv

In a premeditated manner.

Word Origin 'Meditate' comes from Latin meditari 'to think over.' Premeditatedly means done with forethought — literally 'thought over beforehand.' The prefix pre- 'before' is from Latin prae-, as in 'preview' and 'precaution.' The root meditari is from PIE *med- 'to measure, consider,' which also gives us 'medical' (originally healing through measurement), 'moderate,' and 'mode.'
