capably

/kˈeɪpəbli/ adv

In a capable manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'capere' 'to take, hold.' Capable literally means 'able to take in' — having the capacity to do something. Capably means in a competent manner. The root 'capere' gives us capacity (ability to hold), capture (to take), accept (to take to), and concept (something taken in by the mind). The PIE root *kap- 'to grasp' is everywhere.
