presumably

Presumably means we think something is true or happened because it's a good guess based on the information we have.

When people use presumably in conversation, it's usually when they want to say that something seems likely but they're not 100% sure. They might be sharing some facts and then add "presumably" as a way of saying, "And I think this is probably what happened next." It's like adding a little cloud of uncertainty around the situation. For example: "The concert was at 8pm presumably. The poster said that, but it didn't give me any other details about the time."

In everyday speech, "presumably" can be used in many different situations - when talking about events, people's intentions, or even just making a educated guess about something. It's a polite way to say you're not 100% sure about something, so it makes sense that others might have slightly different opinions.
