The word "literatim" is spelled as /lɪtəˈrɑːtɪm/ phonetically. It means to reproduce something exactly as it was written, letter by letter. The Latin origin of the word "litera" meaning letter, and "tim" meaning "exactly" or "precisely" lends itself to the definition of the word. The pronunciation of the word is LIT-uh-rah-tim with emphasis on the second syllable, and the last syllable is pronounced as "tim" but spoken very quickly.
The word literatim comes from Latin. It is derived from the Latin adverb litera meaning letter or character. The suffix -tim in Latin is used to indicate precision or exactness. Therefore, literatim can be understood to mean letter for letter or exactly as written.
