non-repetitively
|non-re-pe-ti-tive-ly|
/nɒn-rɪˈpɛtɪtɪvli/
(non-repetitive)
unique, varied
Etymology
'non-repetitively' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'repetitive' from Latin 'repetere', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'petere' meant 'to seek'.
'repetere' transformed into the English word 'repetitive', and with the addition of 'non-', it became 'non-repetitive', eventually forming the adverb 'non-repetitively'.
Initially, it meant 'not doing something again', and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'in a manner that avoids repetition'.
