reputedly

/ɹɪpˈjutɪdɫi/ adv

According to repute or general belief.

Word Origin Reputedly is from reputed, the past participle of repute. Again, putare 'to think, reckon' gives us compute, dispute, and impute. The idea is that something is reputed to be true — it's been thought about and passed along. So reputedly means 'according to what people think or reckon.'

adv According to repute or general belief.

The castle is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a medieval knight.
