discretely
Each one apart
Discretely means separately or individually, as distinct units rather than as a continuous whole: The data points were analyzed discretely.
The word contrasts with continuously—discretely measured variables jump between values rather than flowing smoothly.
Not to be confused with discreetly, which means cautiously or tactfully.
