fictionally

/ˈfɪkʃənəɫli/ adv

In a fictional manner.

Word Origin From Latin fingere 'to shape, mold' — fiction is something shaped or invented. Fictionally means in a fictional way. The root fingere gives us figure (a shape), figment (something invented), and configure (to shape together). The PIE root *dheigh- meant 'to knead, form,' so fiction is literally 'formed' from imagination.

adv In a fictional manner.
