indispensably

/ˌɪndɪspˈɛnsəbli/ adv

In an indispensable manner; such that one cannot do without it.

Word Origin From Latin 'pendere' meaning 'to hang, weigh.' Dispense is 'to weigh out' (dis- 'apart' + pendere) — to distribute. Indispensable is 'not able to be weighed out' — essential, can't be given away. The same root gives us depend (hang from), suspend (hang under), and ponder (weigh in the mind). The breakdown in+dispens+able+ly shows the root 'pens' (from pendere). The PIE root *(s)pen- means 'to draw, stretch, spin,' which evolved to 'hang, weigh.'
