recessively

/ɹəˈsɛsɪvli/ adv

In a recessive fashion.

Word Origin Recessive comes from Latin recedere 'to go back' (re- 'back' + cedere 'to go'). Recessively means in a going-back manner. The root cess- (from cedere) steps into many words: recess (a going back), proceed (go forward), exceed (go out), access (go toward), and success (go up). The breakdown re+cess+ive+ly shows the backward motion.
