timespecifically

Timespecifically is a neologism formed by combining time with specifically. It is used to indicate that a statement refers to a precise time or narrow temporal window, rather than to general timing. The term is not widely recognized in standard dictionaries and is mostly found in informal writing, commentary, or online discourse.

Usage and meaning: Timespecifically functions as an adverb that can modify verbs or clauses. Examples: “We will meet timespecifically at 2:00 PM.” “The data were collected timespecifically during the morning shift.” “Timespecifically, the policy applies from 9:00 to 17:00.” Because it is informal, some writers may prefer a hyphenated form such as time-specifically or may avoid it in formal prose.

Context and considerations: The term emphasizes an exact moment or interval, adding precision to statements that would otherwise use broader timing. It is distinct from “specifically” alone, which designates particularity rather than temporal constraint. In formal or technical writing, timespecifically may be avoided unless the author explicitly defines it for a given context. In casual or rhetorical writing, it can be used to foreground timing as a critical factor.
