In a way that is allowed or can be accepted, especially in a valid or proper manner.
From admissible (Latin admittere) plus -ly, the standard English adverb-forming suffix. The -ly suffix comes from Old English -lice, meaning 'in the manner of,' and transformed adjectives into adverbs describing how something happens.
Admissibly is the adverb cousin of admissible—if something is admissible, it can be done admissibly. This word appears constantly in legal writing, where judges need to describe whether evidence was introduced properly and acceptably into a trial.
