Appeasably

/əˈpiːzəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that can be appeased or satisfied; in a way that shows capacity for being calmed or made content.

Etymology

From 'appeasable' plus the adverb suffix '-ly,' creating the adverbial form. This is a rare formation because the base adjective 'appeasable' itself is not common in everyday use.

Kelly Says

This word is technically grammatical but almost never used because when we describe how someone acts, we'd say they 'seem willing to compromise' rather than they 'act appeasably.' It's a word that loses out to more natural alternatives.
