Actionably

/ˈækʃənəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that provides grounds for legal action or justifies taking action.

Etymology

From actionable (capable of being acted upon or providing legal grounds) plus the adverbial suffix -ly, meaning 'in a way that permits action.'

Kelly Says

In law and business, when someone speaks 'actionably' false—like a company making a false health claim—it means you can actually take them to court, not just complain about it.
