avoidably

/ævˈɔɪdəbli/ adv

In a manner so as to be avoidable.

Word Origin Avoid comes from Latin ex- 'out' and vacuus 'empty' — literally 'to empty out.' The original idea was to make oneself empty of something, to keep away from it. That's why we have devoid (completely empty) and vacuum (an empty space). Avoidably means something can be avoided, can be kept at a distance.
