severally
One by one
Severally means separately or individually, as distinct from jointly or together.
In legal contexts, parties who are severally liable are each responsible for the full obligation independently, not just their share.
The word appears almost exclusively in formal or legal writing: The tenants are jointly and severally responsible for the rent.
