Likely

"Likely" is an adjective used to describe something that has a good chance of happening or being true, based on available information or evidence. It suggests a reasonable expectation, but not certainty. For example, if the weather forecast says it's likely to rain, it means there's a high enough chance to prepare for rain, though it’s not guaranteed. The term helps convey probability or the degree of confidence that an event will occur, without implying absolute certainty.
