razonadamente

Razonadamente is a Spanish adverb that denotes doing something in a reasonable, justified, or well-founded manner. It conveys that a claim, decision, or action is based on logic, evidence, or sound argument rather than emotion or guesswork. The term is closely related to the adjective razonable and is commonly used in formal, academic, or editorial registers, as well as in legal or policy contexts to emphasize justification.

Usage and nuances: razonadamente often introduces conclusions or evaluations that follow a clear line of reasoning. It can be used to indicate that an argument is well supported, or that a judgment is tempered and prudent. In some contexts it can be synonymous with justification or fundamentación, though the latter terms may appear as noun phrases rather than adverbs. A related adverb, razonablemente, emphasizes moderation or extent, whereas razonadamente highlights the logic or evidence behind a claim.

Examples: El informe presenta razonadamente las razones para apoyar la propuesta. El presidente razonadamente respondió a las preguntas de la prensa, citando datos y estudios. La decisión fue razonadamente prudente, considerando los riesgos asociados.

Relación con otros términos: Razonar es el verbo base, que significa pensar de forma lógica; razonable describe lo que es sensato o aceptable. Razonablemente y razonadamente son adverbios derivados que permiten expresar, respectivamente, grado de moderación y calidad de la argumentación.
