comprehensibly

/kˌɑmpɹihˈɛnsᵻbli/ adv

In a comprehensible manner.

Word Origin Comprehensibly comes from comprehensible, from Latin com- 'together' and prehendere 'to seize, grasp' — literally 'to grasp together'. When you comprehend, you mentally seize all the parts. The root prehendere gives us apprehend, comprehend, and even prison (from prehensio 'a seizing'). Comprehensibly means in a way that can be grasped.
