detalladamente

Detalladamente is a Spanish adverb that means in detail or in a detailed manner. It is formed from the adjective detallado (detailed) plus the suffix -mente to create an adverb, with detallado itself derived from detalle (detail). The term is widely used in prose to indicate that an explanation, description, or presentation has been conducted with thoroughness.

Grammatically, detalladamente functions as an adverb and typically modifies a verb, indicating the manner in which an action is performed. It is common in formal and neutral registers, including academic writing, journalism, technical documentation, and instructional material. For example, one might say: Explicó detalladamente el procedimiento. El informe presenta detalladamente los resultados. Both word orders are acceptable and convey a sense of thorough exposition.

In usage, detalladamente often coexists with phrases such as explicar detalladamente, describir detalladamente, or presentar detalladamente. Writers may alternatively use con detalle or de forma detallada to avoid repetition or to fit a particular rhythm. While detalladamente conveys thoroughness, it can sometimes be perceived as overly explicit in contexts where brevity is preferred.

Etymology and related forms: detalladamente comes from detallado, tied to detalle (detail). Cognates appear in other Romance languages, such as Portuguese detalhadamente or French détaillé/détailler, reflecting shared Latin roots. See also: detallar, con detalle, de forma detallada.
