- 1演化的、進化的；（比喻）漸進式的（相對於革命性的巨變）
Evolutionary describes anything related to evolution — the slow process by which living things change over a very long time. It's also used more loosely for any slow, gradual kind of change or development, especially when people want to contrast it with a sudden, big change (which they'd call 'revolutionary' instead).
