rightly
In proper fashion
Rightly means correctly or justly: She rightly predicted the outcome, They were rightly praised for their efforts.
It often validates a judgment or action: You rightly refused to participate.
The word carries a note of moral or logical vindication—what was done or said aligns with what ought to be.
