Well Kostya, the word thoroughly means ‘with great detail’ while the word throughoutly does not exist.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Thanks Mr. Torsten,

I asked because I found in one of the internet dictionaries that such word (throughoutly) do exist and I was not sure about its difference from “thoroughly”.

However, I am pretty sure that the word “throughout” exists, is its meaning close to that of “thoroughly”?

Thanks,
Kostya

Thoroughoutly: same meaning of above almost
But Mr Tortsten answer does’nt exist is wrong I verfied through my
Dictionary

Hi,

‘Thoroughly’ suggests ‘completely’ in the sense of ( examining something ) in great detail. For me the other word is ‘throughout’ which suggests from start to finish and functions as both adverb and preposition. I don’t know the form with ‘ly’ at the end.

Some examples as an adverb: We went on holiday and it rained throughout. As a preposition: We went on holiday and it rained throughout the week.
