comparatively

/kəmˈpɛɹətɪvɫi/ adv B2

relatively

Word Origin From Latin 'comparare', from 'com-' 'together' and 'parare' 'to make equal' — so 'compare' means 'to bring together to make equal, to match'. 'Comparatively' is the adverb. The root 'parare' also gives us 'prepare' (make ready beforehand), 'repair' (make ready again), 'separate' (make apart), and 'parity' (equality). The idea is making things equal for comparison.
