If something is nominally true, it is true on paper, or in the official description, but not in real life. A person can be nominally in charge — their name is on the door — though actually someone else makes the decisions. A country can be nominally independent while another country still holds the real power. It is a slightly formal word; in easy speech people say “in name only” or “not really.” It can also mean “as the stated amount,” as in a wire that is nominally five — that is the number on the label, even if the true number wobbles a little.
名義上（有名無實）
組成From nominal + -ly. Nominal comes from Latin nōmen (“name”), so the adverb is “in name.”
