Word of the day 
ostensibly: in a way that appears or claims to be one thing when it is really something else

Quote of the day
“Those skilled at making the enemy move do so by creating a situation to which he must conform; they entice him with something he is certain to take, and with lures of ostensible profit they await him in strength.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
