reliably

/ɹiˈɫaɪəbɫi/, /ɹɪˈɫaɪəbɫi/ adv

In a reliable manner.

Word Origin Reliably comes from reliable, which is from rely, ultimately from Latin religare 'to bind back'. The idea is that something reliable is 'bound fast' — you can depend on it. The root ligare 'to bind' gives us ligation, obligation, alliance. The PIE root *leig- means 'to bind', so reliably is 'in a way that holds firm'.

adv In a reliable manner.

This car has reliably served our family for over a decade.
