minutely
With extreme precision
Minutely has two distinct pronunciations and meanings.
With stress on the first syllable, it means in a minute or detailed manner, attending to small particulars: She examined the document minutely.
With stress on the second syllable, it functions as an adverb meaning every minute or at one-minute intervals: The data updates minutely.
This second sense parallels hourly, daily, and weekly, though it sees less frequent use.
