Is "supposably" a word?
AI tells me, "Yes, 'supposably' is a real word listed in major dictionaries like Merriam-Webster and Cambridge Dictionary. However, it has a different meaning from the much more common word 'supposedly,' even though the two are frequently mixed up in daily speech." Here are the differences:- Supposably: Means conceivably or potentially possible (e.g., We could supposably finish today).
- Supposedly: Means reportedly or by reputation, often with doubt (e.g., He is supposedly rich).
