“separately” in Latin

Riddle & Arnold A Copious and Critical English–Latin Lexicon, 1864

separately
separatim (apart; opposed to conjunctim): seorsum (singly; opposed to una): singulatim or singillatim (one by one): singulariter (alone before others). Frequently, however, the English adverb, when used in reference to persons, is expressed by the adjectives solus (alone; opposed to several) and singuli (each one singly, one after the other); e.g., to ask each separately, de aliquo solo quaerere. I will answer each separately, singulis respondebo. If “separately” be = “apart, aside,” and belong to the verb, it is usually expressed by a verb compounded with se; as, to place separately, seponere: to shut up separately, secludere.
