genuinely

/ˈdʒɛnˈjuˌwaɪnɫi/, /ˈdʒɛnjəwənɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In a genuine manner; truthfully, truly.

Word Origin Genuine comes from Latin genuinus, literally 'of the knee' — because in ancient Rome, a father would place a newborn on his knee to acknowledge it as his own, making it 'genuine' or legitimately born. That's why genuinely means truly, authentically. The same root genu (knee) is hidden in genuflect (bend the knee), while the broader 'gen-' family of birth gives us generation, genetics, and progeny.
