I already know there is the adjective iroiro+na, and I've learned that, but
recently I've learned that iroiro+to and iroiro+no are different ways to use
"iroiro", which I have not learned in class, yet I've already finished the
course... I can't really find an answer online though. Any explanation will
help.

Thank you.

question
grammar meaning word-choice
What are the different uses of iroiro?
The footnoted answer to your question leads to a distinction between the
adjectival “-na” and adverbial “-to” suffixes.

I stumbled into an expression which seems to be a hybrid. In the Netflix
version of 僕だけがいない街, Episode #1, Satoru’s mother tells him she’s there to help
him after he was injured in a traffic accident. She points out, 「いろいろと不便だべさ」.

This puzzled me “bigly“. Having said that, I think there’s a clue in this use
of “big” as an adverb. As in, “It’s variously inconvenient.”

BTW, the title of the show on Netflix is “Erased”.
