Root Explanation

Congruently → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "gruere" (meaning to agree or fit). The word "congruently" means in a manner that agrees or fits together harmoniously.

Memory Tip

Think of things that fit or agree 'together' ('con-') — that's why congruently means they are in harmony.
