ladderwise (not comparable)
- In the manner of a ladder; arranged in ascending steps like a ladder.
- 1868, Lewis Wright, The Practical Poultry Keeper, page 227:
- Such perches never cause crooked breast-bones; the heaviest fowl can reach them, and there is never any dispute for the highest place, which is always the case when arranged en échelon or ladderwise.
