aptly

/ˈæptɫi/ adv C1

in a way that is suitable or right for the occasion

Word Origin From Latin apere 'to fit, fasten' — apt originally meant 'fitted, suited'. Aptly is the adverb. The same root gives us adapt (fit to), adept (skilled, fitted), and inept (not fitted). The PIE root *hap- meant 'to grasp, take'.
