pertinently

/ˈpɝtɪnɪntɫi/ adv

In a pertinent manner; relevantly.

Word Origin From Latin 'tenere' — to hold — with 'per-' meaning thoroughly. Something pertinent holds through to the matter at hand, it's relevant. 'Pertinently' means in a relevant manner. The root 'tenere' gives us 'contain', 'obtain', 'retain', 'sustain', 'maintain', 'detain', 'entertain', 'tenure', 'tenant', and 'tenet'. The idea of holding is everywhere.
