inmediatamente

/immeˌdjataˈmente/ · A2 · adv

immediately

⚡ inmediata + mente = immediate + -ly; Spanish -mente is English -ly

Latin immediatus means with nothing in the middle (in- = not, medius = middle). Spanish builds adverbs by adding -mente to the feminine adjective, so inmediata + mente = immediately. Note the spelling: Spanish uses nm where English has mm.
