Appliably

/əˈplaɪ.ə.bli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that is appliable; in a way that can be or is suitable for application.

Etymology

From 'appliable' plus '-ly' (Old English suffix forming adverbs). Follows standard English pattern of making adjectives into adverbs describing how something is done.

Kelly Says

English adverbs formed with '-ly' are so common we barely notice them, but 'appliably' shows the system working: adjective (appliable) + suffix (ly) = adverb describing manner!
