Correct spelling, explanation: largely is an adverb and it’s built the same way as most other adverbs in English, so by the use of a suffix -ly. In this case, the word ends in e, and because el is easy to pronounce, nothing else needs to be added to this word, so large + ly leads to largely.
Definition of largely:
adverb
1. almost completely; for the most part
I have largely forgotten about my childhood, I have only a few minor memories.
The movie is largely based on real events.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: in words like legally the double l makes sense because it’s legal + ly, and the double l is caused by conjoining the last letter of the base word and the suffix. Largelly, on the other hand, is an incorrect word because the double l here is simply unnecessary. The base word here is large, and there is a suffix -ly, so largely is the logical and correct answer.

Great explanation. I’ll be dealing with many of these words in my assignment.
Aww, this was an incredibly great explanation! Taking the time and actual work to generate a superb content, but what can I add… I’ll have a break now and complete my project today as I often procrastinate a lot and never seem to get anything finished in time.
