conditionally

The word "conditionally" is built upon the noun "condition," which originates from the Latin condicio, meaning an agreement, stipulation, or state of being. This Latin term itself stems from condicere ("to speak together, agree"), composed of con- (together) and dicere (to say). The suffix -al transforms the noun into the adjective "conditional," describing something subject to or imposing a condition. Finally, the adverbial suffix -ly, of Germanic origin, is appended to form "conditionally," specifying the manner of an action as being dependent on specific terms. Thus, the word's logic moves from the core concept of a spoken agreement defining a state, to a quality based on that state, and finally to the manner in which something is performed under that stipulation.
