reputed
Considered but unproven
Reputed means supposed or generally believed to be something, though without certainty: the reputed leader of the gang, a reputed mob boss.
The word carries a note of doubt—what's reputed may or may not be true.
Someone of repute has a reputation, usually positive: a scientist of high repute.
Reputedly is the adverb: He's reputedly the best surgeon in the state.
