| May 29, 2023 at 17:50 | comment | added | MarcInManhattan | @gotube Yes, I considered meaning 2b, but I thought that 2a was a little closer to what was likely intended. I don't think that either entry is a great fit, really, but I guess that we can't expect a free online dictionary to be very comprehensive. | |
| May 29, 2023 at 17:47 | comment | added | MarcInManhattan | @gotube I never said that it was a preposition here; I said that the preposition could be used with the noun "rush". I'm in complete agreement that it's an adverb here. | |
| May 29, 2023 at 17:02 | comment | added | gotube♦ | I'd say the meaning is 2 b : in continuance or succession, rambled on | |
