disputably

/dɪspjˈuɾəbli/ adv

In a disputable manner.

Word Origin From Latin dis- 'apart' and putare 'to think, reckon' — to dispute is literally to 'think apart,' to have a different reckoning. The same putare root gives us compute (reckon together), impute (reckon in), repute (think again), and even amputate (from a different sense of putare 'to prune'). Disputably means 'in a way that can be argued.'
