supposedly
Meaning
"Supposedly" is an adverb used to indicate that something is claimed or believed to be true, often without definitive proof, and typically implies a degree of skepticism or doubt regarding the assertion being made.
💡 While "supposedly" conveys a sense of doubt, it is often misused in contexts where certainty is implied; it is important to reserve its use for situations where the truth of the claim is genuinely uncertain.
