How it's used
This term is formal and precise, often appearing in professional, legal, or administrative contexts where accuracy is paramount. It implies a systematic approach to reviewing or processing a list, rather than just looking at the whole. It is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation unless discussing specific tasks or contracts.
Examples
We need to check it item by item to be sure.
