Expandedly

/ɪkˈspændɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In an expanded manner; in a way that is spread out, enlarged, or made more extensive.

Etymology

Kelly Says

While grammatically correct, 'expandedly' is rarely used in modern English—we prefer phrases like 'in an expanded way' because adverbs from past participles sound awkward.
