Purely vs Only

kevin0705 · October 2015

Would "purely", "merely", and "solely" function the same way "only" functions in the conditional logic or reasoning with "only" being necessary condition indicator?

In a nutshell, I would say yes. The above words all share the core definition common with "only". I think a lot of it would depend on context of the argument and statement. Do you have an example?
