Morphology

demonstrably = demonstrable (transparent) = demonstrate + able + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'demonstrable', yielding the straightforward meaning 'in a demonstrable way'.

Etymology

The word demonstrably comes from demonstrate, which comes from the Latin parts de- 'completely' and monstrare 'to show'. So, something demonstrably true is something that can be clearly 'shown' or proved.
