proverbially
UK: prəˈvɜːbiəli | US: prəˈvɜːrbiəli
adv. in a way that relates to or resembles a proverb; typically or famously.
The word "proverbially" derives from "proverbial," which originates from the Latin "proverbialis," meaning "pertaining to a proverb." The root "proverb" combines "pro-" (forth) + "verbum" (word), reflecting the idea of "words put forth" as wisdom. The suffix "-ly" transforms the adjective into an adverb, indicating manner. The term evolved to describe actions or qualities so well-known they resemble proverbial sayings.
The town is proverbially known for its hospitality.

The phrase "slow and steady wins the race" is proverbially true.
Her patience is proverbially unshakable.
