pertinently

In applicable fashion

Pertinently means in a way that is relevant or directly applicable to the matter at hand.

Someone who speaks pertinently addresses the actual issue rather than wandering off-topic: She pertinently noted that the deadline had already passed.

The word carries a slight formality and often implies precision or appropriateness in timing.
