The adverb "apparently" is frequently used to indicate that what follows is based on observation, assumption, or hearsay rather than on confirmed fact. It provides a subtle distancing in characterization and narration, allowing authors to relay information that is perceived or inferred without full commitment to its absolute truth. In some works it marks a casual observation of behavior—such as a character's joy or reticence [1], [2]—while in others it introduces historical or cultural commentary, suggesting a transfer of meaning or a tentative identification [3], [4]. Moreover, it can modify the tone of the narrative, imbuing descriptions with an air of doubt or irony, whether describing a hidden emotion [5] or an unusual circumstance [6].
