respectably
In acceptable fashion
Respectably means in a way that meets acceptable standards or earns regard.
Someone who performs respectably does well enough to avoid embarrassment: She finished respectably in the middle of the pack.
It can describe adequate but unspectacular achievement: The restaurant was respectably busy on a Tuesday night.
Also describes conforming to social propriety: He was respectably dressed for the interview.
