The term "incrementally" is employed to evoke a sense of gradual transformation or change. In one passage, it illustrates how thoughts and emotions resurface slowly, with reason and ire emerging step-by-step [1]. It is also used to depict the progressive hardening of one's character over time, suggesting a subtle yet inevitable shift in disposition [2]. The adverb appears in technical contexts too, where processes and adjustments—whether in drawing a line or modifying positions—occur in small, measurable increments [3][4]. Additionally, it provides a vivid description of intensifying sensations or morphing physical forms, as with the slow buildup of a migraine or the methodical sculpting of a replica [5][6].
