allegation

(ăl'ĭ-gā'shən) pronunciation
n.
  1. Something alleged; an assertion: allegations of disloyalty.
  2. The act of alleging.
  3. A statement asserting something without proof: The newspaper's charges of official wrongdoing were mere allegations.
  4. Law. An assertion made by a party that must be proved or supported with evidence.
[French allégation, from Latin allēgātiō, allēgātiōn-, from allēgātus, past participle of allēgāre, to dispatch, adduce : ad-, ad- + lēgāre, to depute; see legate.]
alleged
adj.
Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed.

allegedly al·leg'ed·ly (ə-lĕj'ĭd-lē) adv.
USAGE NOTE An alleged burglar is someone who has been accused of being a burglar but against whom no charges have been proved. An alleged incident is an event that is said to have taken place but has not yet been verified. In their zeal to protect the rights of the accused, newspapers and law enforcement officials sometimes misuse alleged. Someone arrested for murder may be only an alleged murderer, for example, but is a real, not an alleged, suspect in that his or her status as a suspect is not in doubt. Similarly, if the money from a safe is known to have been stolen and not merely mislaid, then we may safely speak of a theft without having to qualify our description with alleged.



allegedly
[副]((文修飾))(真偽のほどは保証しかねるが)申し立てによると, 主張によれば, 伝えられるところでは. ▼新聞の報道や判決文などでしばしば用いられる
He allegedly lied about having a Yale Ph.D.
