In a manner that is openly declared or admitted; by one's own avowed statement.
From 'avowed' (past participle of avow) plus '-ly' (manner), creating an adverb that emphasizes something is done without hiding or pretending.
This word is perfect for pointing out hypocrisy—'He is avowedly opposed to corruption, yet...' It signals that someone explicitly claimed something, making their contradictory actions more dramatic and blameworthy.
