feasibly

Feasibly is an adverb derived from the adjective feasible. It describes something that can be done or accomplished in practice, given real-world constraints such as time, resources, or technology. Feasibly emphasizes practicality and implementability rather than mere theoretical possibility.

Usage of feasibly appears frequently in planning, engineering, policy analysis, and scientific writing. It is used to indicate that a proposal or action is realistically attainable under current or anticipated conditions. For example, a project might be described as feasible, and it can be carried out feasibly within a six-month timeframe if funding and personnel are secured. In assessments, remarks about what can be achieved feasibly help distinguish ideas that are ideal from those that are workable.

Etymology and related terms: Feasible comes from Middle French faisable, ultimately rooted in the Latin facilis meaning easy or doable. The adverb form feasibly is created by adding the suffix -ly to feasible. Related terms include feasibility (the state or condition of being feasible), feasible, viable, practicable, and doable. Antonyms include infeasible or infeasibly, referring to something that cannot be done realistically.

Notes on usage: Feasibly is most common in formal or technical writing when the writer wants to stress practicality. It can appear with modals or phrases such as “can be feasibly implemented” or “feasibly within budget.” While similar to realistically or practically, feasibly specifically signals that something is doable under constraints, not merely possible in theory.
