Egualmente

/eɡwalˈmente/ adverb

Definition

Spanish for 'equally' or 'likewise'; sometimes used in English in bilingual or code-switching contexts.

Etymology

From Spanish igual (equal) from Latin aequalis, plus the Spanish adverbial suffix -mente (from Latin mente 'by mind/manner').

Kelly Says

This is Spanish, not English—but Spanish appears increasingly in English texts through immigration and globalization, showing how English is becoming genuinely bilingual in many communities rather than 'pure.'
