Also means
exactly
Usage Note
Precisamente can function as a standalone reply meaning 'exactly!' or 'quite right!', similar to English 'precisely'. In a sentence it modifies verbs or adjectives to emphasise exactness. It is more formal than the colloquial esatto or appunto used in everyday speech.
Examples
"È precisamente questo il problema."
Natural Translation
This is precisely the problem.
