'amendably' originates from the Latin word 'emendabilis', where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'mendare' meant 'to correct'.

'emendabilis' transformed into the Old French word 'amendable', and eventually became the modern English word 'amendable', with 'amendably' as its adverbial form.

Initially, it meant 'capable of being corrected', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
