insincerely
In hollow fashion
Insincerely means without genuine feeling or honesty—saying or doing something you don't really mean.
A compliment delivered insincerely rings hollow: She smiled insincerely and said how nice it was to see him.
The word often describes social performances where the outward gesture contradicts inner feeling.
