spuriously

/ˈspɝiəsli/ adv

In a spurious manner.

Word Origin Spurious comes from Latin spurius, meaning 'illegitimate' or 'false,' originally referring to a child of unknown father. So something spurious is not genuine, like a fake. The adverb spuriously means in a false or counterfeit manner. The word has no clear PIE root, but it's been in English since the 1600s.
