Definition: At the beginning.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
You’ve heard the word "initially," and you’re right to ask – the dictionary tells us it means “at the beginning.” But that's just the basic gist, isn't it?
Let me explain with a little rhyme, to help it stick in your mind:
“Initially” means first, you see,
The starting point for you and me!
It’s where things begin, fresh and new,
Before they change, or shift from view.
Think about it like this: When you start a brand-new book, that's
initially
the beginning. Or when you first learn something new, that's your
initial
step!
It’s often used to describe things in the early stages – think of an
initial
assessment or a
initial
plan.
