anticipatorily
With eager expectation
Anticipatorily means in a manner that anticipates—expecting or preparing for something before it happens.
The word is awkward and rarely used; most writers choose alternatives like in anticipation or simply recast the sentence.
When it does appear, it describes actions taken in advance: She anticipatorily cleared her schedule for the meeting.
