Assuredly

/əˈʃʊrɪdli/ adverb

Definition

Certainly or definitely, in a way that shows confidence that something is definitely true.

Etymology

From 'assured' (made certain or confident) plus the adverb suffix '-ly.' 'Assured' comes from Old French 'asseurer' (to assure), from Latin 'ad-' and 'securare' (to secure).

Kelly Says

The word has an old-fashioned, formal sound that's disappeared from everyday speech—people now say 'definitely' or 'for sure,' but 'assuredly' still carries a weight and confidence that modern words have lost.
