Etymology
the adverb 'feasibly' is built upon the adjective 'feasible', which entered english from old french faisable. its core, the morpheme 'feas', traces back to the latin verb facere, meaning 'to do or make', a foundational verb from the proto-indo-european root dʰeh₁- meaning 'to put, place, set'. the suffix '-ible' attaches to verb stems to form adjectives indicating capability, literally 'able to be done'. the final '-ly' is the standard english adverbial suffix. thus, the word's journey encapsulates the logical progression from the ancient concept of 'making' to the modern sense of something being 'practically possible or believable'.
