Adjacently is an adverb that refers to something being in close proximity or directly adjoining something else. It describes an immediate or nearness of position or location. The term can be used to describe physical objects or abstract concepts that are situated side by side or next to each other.
When something is adjacently positioned, it means that it is placed immediately adjacent or contiguous to another object.

For instance, two houses on the same street are adjacently located if they are next to each other, sharing a common boundary or wall.
Besides referring to physical proximity, the term can also be used in a more abstract sense. For example, in a text, ideas or concepts can be presented adjacently when they are placed in close or immediate proximity to enhance their correlation or relatedness. In this context, adjacently suggests a logical or contextual relationship, where the ideas are presented in a sequence or order for clear comprehension or comparative purposes.

It underscores the notion of being in close proximity, either spatially or conceptually, indicating a sense of nearness or immediate connection.
The word adjacently is derived from the adjective adjacent, which comes from the Latin word adjacens, the present participle of adjacere. Adjacere is formed by combining ad (meaning to or near) and jacere (meaning to lie). The adverbial form adjacently is created by adding the suffix -ly to the adjective adjacent.
