intimately

/ˈɪntəmətɫi/ adv

In an intimate manner.

Word Origin Intimately comes from Latin intimus 'inmost, deepest,' the superlative of inter 'between.' So intimate originally meant 'closest, most inward.' The adverb intimately means 'in an intimate manner.' The same root inter gives us words like international (between nations), internet (between networks), and interval (space between). The idea is of a deep, close connection.
