From 'undeniable' (not able to be denied) + '-ly' (forming an adverb). 'Undeniable' itself comes from the prefix 'un-' (not), 'deny', and '-able' (capable of being).

The word 'undeniably' has been used in English since the early 17th century, reflecting the human need to express certainty and the absence of doubt in various contexts.
