supposably

As one assumes

Supposably means in a way that can be supposed or imagined—something is supposably true if it's capable of being supposed.

The word is rare and often appears as a mispronunciation of supposedly, which means "according to what is generally assumed." When people say supposably in contexts where they mean "allegedly" or "as is commonly believed," they almost always intend supposedly.
