In a manner that is generally agreed upon, recognized, or admitted; according to what is commonly accepted.
From 'accepted' (past participle of 'accept') plus '-ly' forming adverbs. Traces back through Old French to Latin 'accipere'.
This adverb appears most in academic writing—it's how scholars diplomatically say 'everyone agrees on this' without having to prove it again.
