tolerably
In acceptable fashion
Tolerably means to an acceptable or adequate degree, though without enthusiasm or excellence.
It suggests something is good enough to be endured or satisfactory, but just barely: The hotel was tolerably clean.
The word often carries a hint of faint praise or resignation—when something is tolerably done, it meets minimum standards without impressing.
In older usage, tolerably could mean fairly or moderately: She played the piano tolerably well.
