Root Explanation

Immanently is formed from "immanens" (from Latin, meaning remaining within) and the adverbial suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word describes something that exists or operates within a certain context or environment.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'remains within' — 'immanens' means to stay inside, and '-ly' indicates the manner of being. This helps you remember that 'immanently' refers to something that exists or operates from within.
