Usage Note
Raisonnablement can mean both 'in a reasonable/sensible way' and 'to a fair/moderate degree', as in raisonnablement bien ('reasonably well'). It derives from raisonnable (reasonable). In everyday speech, assez is often preferred for 'fairly', while raisonnablement has a more formal register.
