Root Explanation

Resultantly → It is formed from "result" (from Latin "resultare", meaning to spring back or rebound) and "-ly" (a suffix used to form adverbs). The word "resultantly" means in a manner that follows as a consequence or outcome.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'springs back' ('resultare') and how it leads to a consequence — that's why resultantly means as a result.
