Morphology

feasibly = feasible (transparent) = feasible + ly

Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'feasible' using the productive suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived: 'in a feasible manner'.

Etymology

Feasibly comes from feasible, which in turn comes from the old Latin root facere meaning 'to do'. A helpful way to remember this is to think of words like factory or fact, which also come from the idea of 'making' or 'doing', so to act feasibly is to act in a way that is 'possible to do'.
