What does TRULY mean in Scrabble?
adverb
In a true, sincere or accurate manner; genuinely, honestly or without exaggeration.
A speaker who says something truly happened is insisting on the accuracy of the claim, ruling out exaggeration, mistake or invention, much as a person who describes a friend as truly kind means the kindness is genuine rather than merely performed. English also uses truly as an intensifier before an adjective, so a truly remarkable achievement emphasizes just how remarkable it is, adding weight beyond what the plain adjective alone would carry. The closing formula yours truly, once a standard way to end a formal letter, still survives in slightly old-fashioned correspondence and, informally, as a jokey way of referring to oneself. Because truly signals sincerity so directly, writers often place it at the start of a sentence for emphasis, as in truly, this changes everything.
