Pertinent means having precise or logical relevance to the matter at hand. This word is used a lot in the legal system such as "a list of articles pertinent to the discussion", which means "remarks that were to the point". People often get off track when discussing lengthy issues with a lot of details therefore it is important to keep on track with only the pertinent details.
