authentically
In genuine fashion
Authentically means in a genuine, real, or true-to-origin manner.
When someone behaves authentically, they act in accordance with their true self rather than performing or pretending: She finally felt free to live authentically.
The word also applies to things that are verifiably what they claim to be: authentically Italian cuisine, an authentically restored Victorian home.
In contemporary usage, authentically often appears in discussions of identity, self-expression, and cultural representation.
