Dispensably

In a way that is not essential; in a way that can be omitted or done without; in a way that is not necessary or crucial to a particular function, purpose, or operation. It describes something that can be set aside, removed, or eliminated without causing significant harm, detriment, or loss of effectiveness. This implies that its absence wouldn't fundamentally alter the outcome or the core function of a system or process. It indicates a level of non-criticality or replaceability, where other options or substitutes could adequately fulfill the role or purpose.
