appreciably

/əˈpɹiʃəbɫi/ adv

In an appreciable manner; to a large extent; considerably.

Word Origin From Latin pretium 'price, value' — to appreciate something is to set a value on it. Appreciably means to a noticeable degree, something you can 'price' or measure. The prefix ad- (assimilated to ap-) means 'to,' so appreciable is 'able to be valued.' Related words: appreciate, depreciation (value going down), and priceless (too valuable to price).
