The word relevantly is derived from the adjective relevant.
The adjective relevant originated from the Latin word relevans, which is the present participle of relevare. Relevare is a compound verb consisting of re- (meaning again or back) and levare (meaning lift or raise).
Therefore, relevant essentially means lifting up again or raising up back. In its modern usage, relevant refers to something that is applicable, connected, or pertinent to a particular matter or context.
The suffix -ly is added to create the adverb form, relevantly, which means in a relevant manner or to a relevant degree.
