solamente

/ˌsolaˈmente/ · A2 · adv

only, alone, merely

solamente = sola (alone) + -mente (-ly): solely

Spanish builds adverbs by adding -mente to the feminine adjective, just as English adds -ly. Sola means alone, from Latin solus, the root of English sole and solo. So solamente is literally solely: only, merely.
