In a friendly and peaceful way; without anger or disagreement.
From 'amicable' (from Latin 'amicabilis,' related to 'amicus' meaning friend). The adverb form with '-ly' was added to convert the adjective into an adverb in the 1500s.
Legal documents often use 'amicable' to describe divorces or settlements, and divorce lawyers say that couples who can separate amicably actually save so much money compared to contested divorces that the emotional tone literally translates to thousands of dollars in costs.
