Etymology: "Reconciliably" is the adverbial form of "reconcilable," which is itself built from "reconcile" plus the suffix "-able." "Reconcile" came into English in the late 1300s from Old French "reconcilier," which in turn came from Latin "reconciliare," meaning to bring back together or to restore a friendly relationship. The Latin root combines "re-," meaning again, with "conciliare," to bring together, which is related to "concilium," an assembly or council. The adjective "reconcilable" followed the same path, and "-ably" is the regular English adverb ending attached to adjectives in "-able." The word therefore describes the manner in which something can be brought back into agreement, so a dispute handled reconciliably is one settled in a way that the parties can accept.
