momently

• ظرف قديم يعني 'في كل لحظة' أو 'كل دقيقة'، ويُستعمل في الأدب الإنجليزي القديم للدلالة على حدوث الشيء باستمرار أو في كل لحظة. وقد حلّت محله في الإنجليزية الحديثة كلمة 'momentarily' التي تعني 'لحظةً' أو 'بعد قليل'.

An archaic adverb meaning 'from moment to moment' or 'every moment.' It was used in older English literature to describe something happening continuously or at each instant. In modern English, it has largely been replaced by 'momentarily' (meaning 'for a moment' or 'very soon').
