Morphology

provably = provable (transparent) = prove + able + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'provable', yielding a manner meaning directly derived from the adjective.

Etymology

Provably comes from prove, which in turn comes from the old Latin probare meaning 'to test' or 'to approve'. So provably means 'in a way that can be shown to be true' and is used when something can be tested or proved.
