negligibly
Pronunciation: [ˈnɛɡlɪdʒəblɪ]
Word
Context: "importance"
(adverb) when something is so small or unimportant that it hardly makes a difference. For example, if you have a tiny scratch on your toy, it’s negligibly small, and it doesn’t really affect how the toy works.
Example
The change in temperature was negligibly small, so we didn't need to worry about it.
Example
The amount of rain last week was not negligibly small; it really affected the crops.
Example

Context: "measurement"
(adverb) when something has a very tiny amount that is almost nothing. This can be used when measuring things, like weight or speed, where the small amount doesn’t matter much.
Example
The error in the calculations was negligibly tiny, so the results were still accurate.
Example
The mistake we made was not negligibly small; it changed the outcome of the experiment.
