In a temporal sense, concludingly refers to the act of finishing or completing something. When used to describe an action or event, it suggests that it is the final step or that it wraps up a series of events. For example, in a meeting, someone may state "concludingly, I would like to summarize the key points discussed."
In a logical or argumentative context, concludingly refers to reaching a final inference or deduction based on prior information or evidence. It implies that the preceding evidence or reasoning supports and leads to a particular conclusion. For instance, in an essay or scholarly paper, an author might use the term "concludingly" in their final paragraph to summarize and emphasize the main points and provide a final thought or recommendation.
Overall, concludingly functions to signify the end or finality of a series of actions or thoughts. It indicates that the preceding material or reasoning has been presented and that it is now time to summarize, draw a conclusion, or make a final statement.
The word "concludingly" is derived from the verb "conclude" and the suffix "-ly".
The verb "conclude" comes from the Latin word "concludere", which is a combination of "con-" (meaning "together" or "with") and "cludere" (meaning "to close" or "to shut"). It originally referred to the act of closing or completing something, and later acquired the sense of drawing a logical inference or reaching a decision or agreement.
The "-ly" suffix, which is a common adverbial suffix in English, is added to adjectives to form adverbs. It indicates manner or quality, turning the adjective "concluding" into the adverb "concludingly".
