untruly

/ʌntɹˈuli/ adv

In an untrue manner.

Word Origin True comes from Old English trēowe 'faithful, trustworthy,' from Proto-Germanic *treuwaz, from PIE *deru- 'firm, solid, steadfast' (also giving us tree and trust). Untruly means 'in a manner not faithful to truth, falsely.' The breakdown un+true+ly shows 'not' + 'true' + 'in a manner.' The same root gives us trust, truce, and truth.

adv In an untrue manner.
