Etymology

The word 'pardonably' stems from the root word 'pardon,' which originates from the Old French 'pardoner,' meaning to grant forgiveness. The word 'pardon' itself has its roots in the Latin 'pardonare,' where 'pan-' (fully) and 'donare' (to give) combine to mean 'to give completely.' The adverbial form 'pardonably' is formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to 'pardonable,' which means capable of being pardoned or excused. This morphological transformation aligns with a standard pattern in English where adjectives are converted into adverbs. Seen in literature since the early 19th century, 'pardonably' has been used to discuss the context of forgiving actions or decisions, framing them in a manner that emphasizes their acceptable nature.
