progressively
This term describes a continuous shift or accumulation, often implying a steady trajectory toward a specific end state. It is frequently used in formal or technical contexts to describe trends, such as economic growth or deteriorating health, where the change is not abrupt but happens in increments.
In technical fields like web development, the term takes on a specific procedural meaning. It refers to a strategy of building a basic version of a product first and then adding layers of complexity, ensuring that the system remains functional even if the advanced features are not supported.
