Etymology: Pristinely is a plain formation: the adjective "pristine" with the suffix "-ly" added. "Pristine" came into English from Latin "pristinus", meaning "former" or "earlier", and it was that older sense of "belonging to the past" that gave the adjective its later meaning of being in an original, untouched state. Adding "-ly" turns it into an adverb describing something done in that unspoiled way. The suffix has a long ancestry of its own. It descends from a Proto-Germanic word meaning "body" or "form", which developed into "-līkō" and eventually Old English "-līċe", the source of Middle English "-ly". The same ending appears in many common adverbs, so "pristinely" belongs to a large and ordinary family of words.
