Does Seemingly Mean Apparently?

Does Seemingly Mean Apparently?

Something seemingly true appears to be true. Use the adverb seemingly when you want to say "on the face of it" or "apparently." The word seemingly refers to how things look on the surface — how they seem — and it often suggests there's more to the story.

Is apparently the same as seemingly?

"Apparently" is usually used for things that you've heard someone say, or that you've read somewhere. For example, you read in the paper that a reality TV show is faked. Then you might say to your friend "That show is apparently faked". "Seemingly" is usually more to do with what you've figured out yourself.
