necessarily
As a requirement
Necessarily means as an unavoidable consequence or requirement: Success doesn't necessarily follow from hard work.
The word often appears with negatives to indicate something isn't automatic or guaranteed: Expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
When something is necessarily true, it couldn't be otherwise—it follows from logic or circumstances: A triangle necessarily has three sides.
