Something like arguable but not. Starts with an a too. I think šŸ˜…

In the meaning of ā€œjury’s out on that oneā€.

Do you mean arguably, as opposed to an entirely different word?

MuddlerInLaw · 14/09/2022 10:43

šŸ¤” You could be ā€˜ambivalent’ about something.

?

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 14/09/2022 10:44

as in: xxxx she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.

it is arguably, isn’t it šŸ˜‘ I just thought there was a less combative sounding word. Something like ā€œambivalentā€ but obviously that means something else entirely .

Debatably? Potentially? Possibly?

OhMerde · 14/09/2022 10:51

Some would say she's the most beautiful woman in the world.

Many regard her as the most....

chesirecat99 · 14/09/2022 11:06

Moot?

MandyMotherOfBrian · 14/09/2022 11:10

Arbitrarily?

MandyMotherOfBrian · 14/09/2022 11:10

Although I don’t think that necessarily fits the example

lemons44 · 14/09/2022 11:11

Admittedly ?

McConkeysPlate · 14/09/2022 11:12

Undeniably?

Dogtooth · 14/09/2022 11:22

Allegedly
Apparently
Assuredly
Purportedly

But these are all terrible baby names

SirCharlesRainier · 14/09/2022 11:24

Ostensibly?

bbcdefg · 14/09/2022 11:25

Allegedly?

chesirecat99 · 14/09/2022 11:49

Contravertably or conceivably?

CactiHug · 14/09/2022 12:00

Objectively?

Mydogneedsabath · 14/09/2022 12:02

Albeit

Mumofnowgrownkids · 14/09/2022 12:04

It's "arguably" as in some people think this is the case but some others may disagree.

spiderlight · 14/09/2022 12:09

Ostensibly?

Teenprobs · 14/09/2022 12:11

Assertively?

Ihaventgottimeforthis · 14/09/2022 12:35

Ambiguous?

deedledeedledum · 14/09/2022 12:59

Objectively or subjectively?

mast0650 · 14/09/2022 17:37

Allegedly? ie it has been claimed to be true, but might not be.
Depending on what exactly you want to say, arguably migt be better. I don't think it is "combative"
