literally define
According to the dictionary, âliterallyâ now also means âfigurativelyâ. Thanks in part to the overuse of literally, Merriam-Webster says the word can now mean its exact opposite. Huh? Indeed, Raganâs PR Daily reported last week that Webster, Macmillan Dictionary and Google have added this latter informal use of âliterallyâ as part of the wordâs official definition. The Cambridge Dictionary has also jumped on board.
