Word origin
From Latin re- + levare 'to lift' through medieval Latin relevans, the adjective takes a figurative sense of being lifted into notice and therefore means worthy of attention.
Usage tips
- Relevante tends to be more formal, so in everyday conversation speakers often explain why something matters rather than simply using the adjective.
