How to use "Supposedly" in context?
When something is said to be "supposedly," it is often thought to be untrue or only half-true. For example, a person might say, "I'm supposed to be at work now, but I'm feeling too sick to go in." This type of statement usually implies that the speaker is not really feeling sick, but is instead putting on a brave face in order to avoid doing something they don't want to do.
