Etymology

Intentional misspelling of allegedly (“according to someone's allegation”) through the duplication of -ed (“used to form the past tenses of most verbs”). Used to mock the frequent use of the term by the media, especially in contexts where the evidence is ostensibly sufficient enough to warrant factualness; see the usage notes of allegedly.
