Common mistake:
Learners may confuse this sense with 'regularly' for personal habits. In sentences like *"Luggage is routinely checked"*, 'routinely' describes a standard procedure, not someone's habit. Another mistake is using 'routine' instead of 'routinely', as in *"Bags are routine checked"*; the correct adverb is 'routinely'.
Meaning
as a normal, automatic procedure
Collocations
is routinely tested
|is routinely checked
|is routinely carried out
|are routinely screened
|is routinely performed
|is routinely required
Synonyms
automatically (Stresses that something happens without extra thought; can also refer to machines, while 'routinely' focuses on standard procedure.)
|

|
as standard (Often used in institutional or technical contexts to indicate a built-in or expected procedure.)
Antonyms
exceptionally (Suggests something is done only in special cases, not as a standard procedure.)
|
