responsibly

/ɹɪˈspɑnsəbɫi/ adv

In a responsible manner.

Word Origin From Latin respondere: re- 'back' + spondere 'to pledge' — to pledge in return, to answer. Responsible means able to be answered for, accountable. The -ly makes it an adverb. The same root gives us sponsor, correspond, and despondent (having pledged away hope). So responsibly means in a way that can be answered for.
