incrementing
Stepping up gradually
Incrementing is increasing something by a fixed amount, typically by one.
The term belongs to computing and mathematics, where counters and variables step upward in regular intervals: The loop works by incrementing i until it reaches 100.
Outside technical contexts, incrementing suggests methodical, stepwise increase rather than dramatic change.
