In a precise manner (7)

I believe the answer is:

exactly

'in a precise manner' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for exactly that I've seen before include "Dead" , "In every respect" , "Precisely thus" , "In precise terms" , "Quite so" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
