Word origin
The word 'reportedly' is derived from the verb 'report', which comes from Old French 'reporter', meaning 'to carry back'. The adverb 'reportedly' gained popularity in the 20th century with the rise of mass media and news reporting, often used to indicate information that may not be fully verified. It has become a common term in journalism and everyday language to convey information from sources that are not officially confirmed.
