What is another word for over time?
Pronunciation: [ˌə͡ʊvə tˈa͡ɪm] (IPA) 
Over time, as things change, we often need different words to describe the continuity and evolution of events. For instance, gradually, progressively, in the long run, and eventually all connote change or advancement over time. In the same vein, phrases like as time passes, as years go by, and with the passage of time all suggest the forward march of time and the developments that come with it. Similarly, terms like slowly but surely and step-by-step emphasize progress being made through measured, deliberate action over a longer period. Ultimately, as we move forward, there are numerous ways to describe the changes we see unfolding over time.
