commensurately

Meanings

1. 1
   adv

   In a commensurate manner; so as to be equal or proportionate.

   Admiral Kurita has no identification charts for escort carriers, and so, assumes that the distant targets are fleet carriers. Commensurately, by scale, their escorts must either be battleships or cruisers. The Japanese forces therefore continue to load armor-piercing rounds, what will turn out to be a very fortuitous mistake for their targets for as long as it lasts.

2. 2
   adv

   With equal measure or extent.

Etymology

From commensurate + -ly.
