wearingly
Done with grinding monotony
In a manner that causes fatigue or exhaustion, whether physical or mental.
The word describes how something tires or wears down over time: The negotiations dragged on wearingly for months.
It suggests gradual depletion rather than sudden exhaustion—a slow erosion of energy or patience.
