        [1913 Webster]

           [1913 Webster]
  
     Directly proportional (Math.), proportional in the order of
        the terms; increasing or decreasing together, and with a
        constant ratio; -- opposed to inversely proportional.
  
     Syn: Immediately; forthwith; straightway; instantly;
          instantaneously; soon; promptly; openly; expressly.
  
     Usage: -- Directly, Immediately, Instantly,
            Instantaneously. Directly denotes, without any delay
            or diversion of attention; immediately implies,
            without any interposition of other occupation;
            instantly implies, without any intervention of time.
            Hence, ``I will do it directly,'' means, ``I will go
            straightway about it.'' ``I will do it immediately,''
            means, ``I will do it as the very next thing.'' ``I
            will do it instantly,'' allows not a particle of
            delay. Instantaneously, like instantly, marks an
            interval too small to be appreciable, but commonly
            relates to physical causes; as, the powder touched by
            fire instantaneously exploded.
