ruminatingly (comparative more ruminatingly, superlative most ruminatingly)

While ruminating; with thought or meditation.
- 1923, Walter de la Mare, Seaton's Aunt:
  "And it always seems to me," he went on ruminatingly, "that, after all we are nothing better than interlopers on the earth, disfiguring and staining wherever we go. I know it's shocking blasphemy to say so, but then it's different here, you see. We are further away."
