conceivably

/kənˈsivəbɫi/ adv

In a conceivable manner; possibly.

Word Origin From Latin com- 'together' and capere 'to take, seize' — literally 'able to be taken together' in the mind. The root capere is incredibly productive: it gives us conceive (take together mentally), receive (take back), perceive (take through), deceive (take away), and capture (take physically). Conceivably means something can be imagined or believed.

adv In a conceivable manner; possibly.
