Assessably

/əˈsɛsəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that can be assessed, evaluated, or determined; able to be measured or estimated.

Etymology

From assessable + -ly (adverbial suffix). Assessable comes from assess, with roots in Latin assidere (to sit beside, judge). The -ly adds the meaning of manner or condition.

Kelly Says

This is a rare adverb that might appear in technical or legal writing—'the risks are assessably high' means the risks can actually be measured and determined, not just guessed at. It's the kind of word accountants and risk managers love!
