interiorly
Within the interior
Interiorly means on the inside or inwardly.
The word appears in formal or literary contexts to describe what happens within something—a building, a body, or a mind: The chapel was plain outside but interiorly magnificent.
When describing mental states, it suggests private or unspoken experience: She remained calm, though interiorly she was seething.
