Determinably

/dɪˈtɜːrmɪnəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that can be determined or decided; in a manner that is capable of being figured out.

Etymology

From determinable + -ly (adverb suffix). The -ly ending transforms adjectives into adverbs describing how something happens or in what manner.

Kelly Says

Adverbs ending in -bly are rare in English, which makes determinably sound technical and precise—exactly why scientists and philosophers use it when they want to sound rigorous.
