Morphology

manageably = manageable (transparent) = manage + able + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'manageable', producing a predictable meaning 'in a manageable way'.

Etymology

The word manageably comes from manage, which comes from an old Latin word manus meaning 'hand' and the idea of 'handling' things, just like in manual. So manageably means 'in a way you can handle' or deal with easily.
