cogently
In compelling fashion
Cogently means in a clear, logical, and convincing manner.
A cogently argued case presents evidence and reasoning that holds together persuasively: She cogently explained why the project would fail.
The word emphasizes intellectual force—not just clarity, but the kind of reasoning that's hard to refute.
