Root Explanation

Contemporarily → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "temporarius" (from Latin, meaning temporary or time-related) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "contemporarily" means in a manner that relates to the same time period or together in time.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('con-') and 'time' ('temporarius') to remember that 'contemporarily' refers to things happening at the same time.
