scrupulously

/ˈskɹupjəɫəsɫi/ adv

In a careful manner, with scruple; done with careful attention to detail.

Word Origin From Latin 'scrupus' 'a sharp stone' — imagine a tiny pebble in your shoe that bothers you. That's the metaphor: a scruple is a moral uneasiness, a nagging doubt. Scrupulously means acting with extreme care, as if checking for every little stone. The same root gives us 'scruple', 'unscrupulous' (without scruples), and 'scrupulosity'.
