fictitiously

/fɪkˈtɪʃəsli/ adv

In a fictitious manner.

Word Origin From Latin fingere 'to shape, feign' — fictitious means invented, not real. Fictitiously is the adverb. The root gives us fiction, figment, and fictionalize. The -itious suffix is from Latin -icius, meaning 'of the nature of.' The PIE root *dheigh- meant 'to knead,' so something fictitious is 'kneaded' up.
