The spelling of the word "constituently" can be perplexing to some. The correct pronunciation of the word is [kənˈstɪtʃuəntli], with emphasis on the second syllable. The word is derived from the noun "constituent," which means a person who is represented by an elected official or appointed representative. In this context, the adverb "constituently" refers to something that pertains to a constituent or that arises out of constituents. The word can be mistaken for "constantly," which means happening often or recurring regularly.
