Feigningly

/ˈfeɪnɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a feigning manner; while feigning or pretending; with deceptive intent or appearance.

Etymology

From the present participle feigning plus the adverbial suffix -ly. This form emphasizes the ongoing action of pretense rather than a single feigned act.

Kelly Says

Feigningly captures the *active process* of pretending—not just being fake, but continuously, moment-by-moment choosing to keep up the act!
