ASSUREDLY Copy link • ASSUREDLYsurely; without doubt: certe, certo (the former relating more to the persuasion of the speaker; the latter to the real state of the case: both certe scio and certo scio occur; the latter more commonly: certe is used objectively in certe evenire [Pract. Intr., ii., 561, etc.] : liquido (with clearness; with full certainty; without hesitation; e.g., dicere; confirmare, Cic.: jurare, Ter.): haud dubie: sine ulla dubitatione (like certe: to intimate that the speaker entertains no doubt of the truth of his assertion): profecto (i. e., for a fact: a strong assertion, that the statement made is objectively true: also the “doubtless” of assumption; as in “assuredly you are now at Rome,” nunc quidem profecto Romae es): sane (certainly; of which a sane mind can not entertain a doubt: used, also, in replies): nae (nearly = profecto, but stands only at the head of a sentence, mostly before a personalpronoun): recte (assuredly; you are right: a courteous assent in replies): utique (a restrictive particle of assertion: in Cic., chiefly in his letters, with imperative, subjunctive, and other expressions of wishing, advising, or cominanding): nimirum (of what is so certain, that it would be surprising if it were otherwise; e.g., nimirum recte). ☞ “Assuredly,” in a sentence containing a positive assertion, may often be translated by non dubito, quin, etc. Assuredly this can happen, non dubito, quin hoc fieri possit. IF NOT-YET ASSUREDLY (= at all events), si non-at saltem; si non-certe. “Assuredly,” as an answer, certe: sane or vero (often with the verb used in the question): sane quidem. Sometimes recte: optime (of courteous assent). “Do you grant us this?” “Assuredly (I do),” dasne hoc nobis? do sane. [Pract. Intr., ii., 148, 149.] lronically, certe; quidem certe; nempe; scilicet; videlicet; nimirum (of these, certe is the only one that can stand alone). I believe anything assuredly, persuasum est mihi; persuasi mihi: to know assuredly, certo (pro certo) scire: pro explorato habere aliquid; certum, exploratum or compertum habere aliquid.
