It conveys the sense of 'so-so', 'passably', or 'in a middle way' and it is a very common adverb to describe someone or something that is in the middle of the scale of good, average, or bad. It suggests a lack of extremes, representing a balance or neutrality in a particular situation. It is a neutral word.
