changeably
This adverb describes a quality of instability or unpredictability. It is most frequently used to characterize weather patterns, human temperaments, or volatile market conditions where the shift in state is sudden and frequent.
Because it describes a manner of being, it typically modifies verbs of behavior or state, such as "behave," "act," or "react." It carries a neutral to slightly negative connotation, often implying a lack of reliability or consistency.
