The answer

APTLY

What aptly means

In a way that is clearly suitable, fitting, or appropriate for the situation or context.

Where the word comes from

From the Old French word "apte," meaning "fit" or "suitable," which comes from the Latin "aptus," the past participle of "apere," meaning "to fasten" or "to fit." The suffix "-ly" transforms the adjective "apt" into an adverb. The sense evolved from "physically fitted together" to "well-suited" and eventually "in a fitting or appropriate manner."
