Morphology
preventably = preventable (transparent) = prevent + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'preventable', which itself is transparently 'prevent' + '-able'.
Etymology
Preventably begins with pre- meaning 'before' and shares a root that means 'to come', the same root you see in event, so prevent originally meant 'to come before' and stop something. So, preventably means 'in a way that could have been stopped before it happened'.
