reportedly

/ɹiˈpɔɹtədɫi/, /ɹɪˈpɔɹtədɫi/ adv

According to reports or rumors.

Word Origin Reportedly means 'as has been reported', but the root is portare 'to carry' — so a report is literally something 'carried back'. The idea: you carry information back to someone. The same portare root gives us export (carry out), import (carry in), and transport (carry across). The breakdown re+port+ed+ly shows the prefix, root, past participle suffix, and adverbial suffix.
