Computably

/kəmˈpjuːtəbli/ adverb

Etymology

From 'computable' + adverbial suffix '-ly'. This technical adverb appears primarily in mathematical and computer science academic writing.

Kelly Says

When computer scientists say something is 'computably enumerable,' they mean you can generate all instances of it step-by-step, even if you can't necessarily verify each one—a subtle distinction that separates the merely infinite from the algorithmically accessible.
