precisamente

/pɾeˌθisaˈmente/ · B1 · adv

precisely

🎯 precisa + -mente = precise + -ly, like English precisely

Spanish forms adverbs by adding -mente to the feminine adjective: precisa + -mente. The root is Latin praecisus, meaning cut off in front (prae + caedere), so something trimmed exactly to size.
