Anyway; at any rate (9)
I believe the answer is:
leastways
I believe this is a double definition.
'anyway' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'at any rate' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
(Other definitions for leastways that I've seen before include "If nothing else" , "in any event" , "anyhow" , "As a minimum" , "at any rate" .)
