In a sincere, honest, and authentic way; truly and without pretending.
From 'genuine' (from Latin 'genuinus' meaning 'natural' or 'innate,' possibly related to 'genus' for kind/type). The suffix '-ly' converts the adjective to an adverb. The root may connect to 'genu' (knee), as newborns were placed on their father's knee to claim paternity in Roman custom.
