(salutary)
beneficial effect
Etymology
'salutarily' originates from Latin, specifically the adjective 'salutaris' (from 'salus'), where 'salus' meant 'health' or 'welfare'.
'salutarily' developed via the English adjective 'salutary' (from Latin salutaris, through Middle French/Medieval Latin influences) and the adverbial suffix '-ly' was added in English to form 'salutarily'.
Initially it meant 'relating to health' (or 'promoting health'), and over time it broadened to mean 'producing a beneficial or wholesome effect' in general.
