Root Explanation

Conditionally → It is formed from "condition" (from Latin *conditio*, meaning stipulation or agreement) and the suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner). The word "conditionally" means in a manner that is dependent on certain stipulations or agreements.

Memory Tip

Think of 'condition' as a stipulation that something must meet, and '-ally' means in a manner. So, conditionally means acting in a way that depends on certain conditions.
