convincingly
UK: kənˈvɪnsɪŋli | US: kənˈvɪnsɪŋli
adv. in a manner that persuades or makes someone believe something
adv. in a way that is clearly true or logical
The word "convincingly" derives from the Latin convincere ("to overcome, prove wrong"), combining con- (intensive) + vincere ("to conquer"). Over time, "convince" evolved to mean "to persuade by argument or evidence." The suffix -ing forms the present participle, and -ly converts it into an adverb, creating a term that describes the act of persuading effectively. The progression reflects a shift from physical conquest to intellectual persuasion.
