Definitely not new or trendy. Odd that you've never heard it. It means precisely/exactly.

The language lover in me can’t resist making note of something interesting re the discussion of coincidence vs. exactly when:

Coincidence, etymologically speaking, means that something happened “exactly when.” Read it as co - incidence. Occurring at the same time.
