We are discussing a simple, four-word sentence.

"Which doubtlessly is why."

I take back what I said, Neal. While the third grader would probably not
have recognized that your four words are part of a dependent clause
introduced the relative pronoun "which," the third grader would at least
have gone you one better by recognizing that your four words do not
constitute a sentence.

Do a little googling of "clause" and "sentence" and maybe you can start
to
get this grammar stuff sorted out.

This is becoming tedius. "Doubtless" is correct, Wilbur. "Doubtlessly" can
also be correct, but is considered "clumsy."

Irrelevant! That link talks about "doubtless" used as an adverb and I have
shown, without doubt, that in the sentence, "Which is doubtlessly why," that
doubtlessly is used as an adjective since it is a modifier of the word "why"
and not a modifier of the verb "is."
