C. − P. anal. [Dans le temps] De loin en loin; de loin à loin (vx). De temps à autre, de temps en temps. Cependant la conversation est languissante entre Virginie et Auguste (...). Ils échangent seulement quelques mots de loin à loin (Kock, Pucelle, 1834, p. 304). Je l'avais revu de loin en loin aux promenades ou dans les bals, et toujours nous causions ensemble avec assez de penchant et d'intérêt (Sainte-Beuve, Volupté, t. 2, 1834, p. 201). Il était devenu mon ami, un de ces amis qu'on rejoint de loin en loin, puis de plus en plus souvent, quand on a envie d'une soirée excitante (Abellio, Pacifiques, 1946, p. 35).
