How to spell frequently

Frequently is spelled F-R-E-Q-U-E-N-T-L-Y.

What it means: Often or many times.

In a sentence: I frequently visit the park with my dog. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: frequented, frequency, infrequent, infrequently, often. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Frequently” comes from the Latin word “frequens,” meaning ‘crowded’ or ‘occurring often,’ which later came to mean something that happens many times. The suffix “-ly” turns the adjective “frequent” into an adverb describing how often an action happens.
