sincerely
UK: sɪnˈsɪəli | US: sɪnˈsɪrli
adv. in a genuine, honest, or heartfelt manner
adv. (in letter closings) a conventional expression of earnest goodwill
The word "sincerely" derives from the Latin sincerus ("pure, clean, genuine"), possibly from sin- (without) + cera (wax), referring to unadulterated honey or untainted objects. Over time, sincere in English came to mean "free from deceit," and the adverbial suffix -ly was added to form "sincerely," emphasizing truthful expression. The term became standard in letter closings during the 18th century as a polite convention.
