Followingly

/ˈfɑːloʊɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that follows; as a logical consequence or result of what was stated before.

Etymology

From the present participle 'following' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Following' comes from 'follow' plus '-ing'.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that most dictionaries don't even list it—it's a ghost word that technically works grammatically but almost nobody uses because 'consequently' or 'therefore' sound more natural.
