1. In a way that approves itself to one's reason for acceptance or belief; plausibly; in a way that seems likely to prove true; with likelihood (though not with certainty). Now rare. 2. As a qualification of the whole statement: As is likely; so far as evidence goes; in all probability; most likely. Now the ordinary use. https://oed.com/oed2/00189040

- The “definition” for probably is “in all likelihood”. The definition for “in all likelihood” is “very probably”. I infer that probably means “very probably” and “in all likelihood” means “very very probably”, and so on. Nclm (talk) 14:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
