conceivably
Within the realm
Conceivably means in a way that can be imagined or believed possible: She could conceivably finish by tomorrow.
The word often hedges claims, acknowledging something is within the realm of possibility without asserting likelihood: It could conceivably work, but I doubt it.
Sometimes used for rhetorical effect to emphasize improbability: How could anyone conceivably think that's a good idea?
