lentamente
/ˌlentaˈmente/ · B1 · adv
slowly
🐢 lenta + mente = in a slow mind, so slowly; -mente works like English -ly
Lenta means slow, from Latin lentus, which also gives English lentil? No: it gives relent, to slacken. Spanish adds -mente (from Latin mente, with a mind) to make adverbs, so lentamente is slow-ly.
