compactly

/ˈkɑmpæktli/ adv

In a compact manner

Word Origin Compactly comes from compact, from Latin com- 'together' and pangere 'to fasten, fix' — literally 'fastened together'. The idea: tightly packed. The root pangere gives us pact (an agreement, something fastened), impact (driven in), and page (a fastened sheet). Compactly means in a tightly packed manner.
