Word origin

The word 'opportunely' is derived from the Latin word 'opportunus', which means 'favorable' or 'suitable'. The term originally referred to the positioning of ships in relation to the wind and tide, where 'opportune' indicated a favorable time to set sail. As the term transitioned into English during the late Middle Ages, it began to encompass broader contexts. The adverbial form, 'opportunely', evolved to convey the idea of an advantageous timing associated with events or decisions. The usage of 'opportunely' in modern English reflects its roots in discussions about resourcefulness and timing, often seen in literature and everyday conversation.
