Meticulously
adverb/muh-TIK-yuh-luss-lee/
To do something meticulously is to do it with great care and attention to every detail.
In contextThe model plane was meticulously built over many careful weekends.
Remember it
Meticulous people almost seem to 'meter' every tiny detail — measuring carefully as they go.
Use it well
Use to praise careful, detailed work; it is stronger than simply 'carefully'.
