'absolutely' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'first lady regularly on vacation in switzerland?' is the wordplay.
'first lady' becomes 'eve' (first woman in the Bible).
'on vacation' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'switzerland?' becomes 'ch' (short for Confoederatio Helvetica, its Latin name).
'regularly' with its middle removed is 'ry'.
'eve'+'ry'+'in'+'ch'='EVERY INCH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for every inch that I've seen before include "Entirely" , "In all departments" , "Thoroughly" , "Wholly" , "completely" .)
