adjacently

/əˈdʒeɪsəntli/ adv

In such a way as to be adjacent.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to, near' and jacere 'to lie' — adjacent literally means 'lying near.' Adjacently is the adverb: in a position that lies next to something. The root jacere 'to throw, lie' is incredibly productive: it gives us project (throw forward), inject (throw in), reject (throw back), subject (throw under), and even adjective (thrown near a noun).
