It was first used in English in the 14th century to describe something that appears to be true or real, but that may not be certain or verified. It is derived from the adverb "appear" which means "to seem" or "to be visible" and the suffix "-ly" which is added to form an adverb. The adverb "apparently" means to seem to be true or real, but that may not be certain or verified. It often used to indicate that something appears to be true, but that there is not enough information to confirm it. It can also express doubt or uncertainty about something.
