"Relatively" is an adverb that is used to modify adjectives and other adverbs, indicating a relation to something else or a comparison to a certain standard. It often suggests a moderate or limited degree of something. Here are some examples of how "relatively" might be used:
1. Comparison: "This is relatively small compared to the other houses in the neighborhood."
2. Degree: "He was relatively calm considering the situation."
3. Comparison to a Standard: "She is relatively young to have such an advanced degree."
4. Comparison within a group: "He is relatively tall in our family."
The word emphasizes the relative nature of the comparison or degree, meaning it's in relation to something else rather than being absolute.
