What word am I trying to think of?

It's a word to describe when something happens naturally (I think), perhaps like a natural progression?

It sounds a similar sort of word to sporadically / ecologically - that sort of length and ends in 'ally' I think but not those words (if you see what I mean, probably not making much sense!)

It's really annoying me!

Not organically but that sort of word I think!

I would’ve said incrementally as well.

If you heard it in connection with the virus: exponentially?

DuckyMcDuck · 07/02/2021 20:55

Inherently?

turnthebiglightoff · 07/02/2021 20:59

I sort of just knew that was the word! You're welcome. It came straight to me as it's so overused at work Grin

Knitsewthread · 07/02/2021 21:40

I know what you mean, I hardly ever heard it (apart from holistic therapies etc.) but then there was a run where I heard it used all the time!

Just looked it up, doesn't really mean naturally or what I thought so well done for getting it from my bad description!
