equivalently positive

Morphology

equivalently = equivalent (transparent) = equivalent + ly

A regular adjectival to adverbial derivation using '-ly'; meaning is directly derived from 'equivalent'.

Etymology

Equivalently comes from parts equi- 'equal' and valent 'having value', like the simple words equal and value. So to use equivalently is to say something in a way that has the 'same meaning or value' as something else.
