excusably

/ɛkskjˈusəbli/ adv

In an excusable manner or to an excusable degree

Word Origin Excuse comes from Latin 'excusare', from 'ex-' 'out of' + 'causa' 'cause, accusation' — literally 'to free from accusation,' to release from blame. Excusably means 'in a pardonable manner.' The root 'causa' gives us causal, causation, and because (by cause). The word because is a contraction of 'by cause of.'
