'relevantly' originates from the Latin word 'relevare,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'levare' meant 'to raise or lift.'

'relevare' transformed into the Old French word 'relever,' and eventually became the modern English word 'relevant' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to lift or raise again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'closely connected or appropriate to the matter at hand.'
