concededly
By own admission
Concededly is an adverb meaning "as is generally acknowledged" or "admittedly"—used to introduce a point the speaker grants before pivoting to a counterargument: Concededly, the evidence is thin, but it's all we have.
The word is formal and appears mainly in legal writing and academic prose.
