Etymology

The word "conceivably" traces back to Latin concipere (to take in, grasp mentally), formed from con- (together) + capere (to take). Over time, "conceive" evolved in Old French as conceivre, entering Middle English with the sense of forming ideas mentally. The suffix -able (from Latin -abilis) denotes capability, while -ly turns the adjective into an adverb. Thus, "conceivably" literally means "in a manner capable of being mentally grasped."
