truthfully
In sincere fashion
Truthfully means in a manner that accords with the truth—honestly and without deception: I can truthfully say I never saw him there.
It often introduces statements the speaker wants to emphasize as sincere or candid: Truthfully, I didn't expect it to work.
In this use, it functions like "honestly" or "to be honest."
