It occurred to me that most of these adverbs ending in -tim
had a time element involved, a series of actions. So I wondered if the etymology had anything to do with time.
Apparently not.But in looki;ng a discovered an inpressive site which set out to cover all of the humanities. But there had been no posts in the etymology part since 2000.
I'll go back and get URL and add it in case anybody wants
to browse that site. I had problems wwith navigation there, so didn't get to see any of the posts.
