presumable
Reasonable to assume
Presumable means able to be presumed or assumed—reasonable to suppose based on available evidence.
The word functions like "probable" but emphasizes logical inference rather than statistical likelihood: The presumable cause of death was heart failure.
Presumably is far more common as an adverb.
