Forgedly

/ˈfɔrdʒɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a forged manner; in a way that is false, counterfeit, or artificially created.

Etymology

From 'forged' (past participle of 'forge,' meaning to create or counterfeit) + '-ly' (adverb suffix), with 'forge' evolving to mean both metalwork and deception.

Kelly Says

The verb 'forge' wonderfully split into two meanings—honestly shaping metal and dishonestly creating fakes—showing how the same skill of creation can serve truth or deception!
