In a manner that could have been prevented or avoided; in a way that was not inevitable.
Formed from 'avoidable' plus the adverb suffix '-ly', allowing the adjective to modify verbs describing preventable actions.
When someone says a mistake happened 'avoidably,' they're really saying 'that person should have seen this coming'—it's the polite legal term for negligence.
