justamente

/ˌxustaˈmente/ · B2 · adv

precisely, exactly

⚖️🎯 justa + mente = just + -ly: justly, or just so, exactly

Spanish adverbs add -mente the way English adds -ly. The ending comes from Latin mente, meaning with a mind: justa mente is with a just mind. Like English just right, it also means exactly: justamente eso means exactly that.
