plausibly

In credible fashion

Plausibly means in a way that seems reasonable or believable, even if not proven true: She could plausibly claim she didn't know about the arrangement.

The word often signals that something is possible but uncertain—a plausible explanation isn't necessarily the correct one, just one that could be true.
