The term "literally" means in a literal manner, or exactly as stated, without exaggeration or metaphor. It is often used to emphasize that something is true in a straightforward, factual way. For example, saying "I literally ran five miles" indicates that the speaker actually completed that distance, not just figuratively or hyperbolically. In recent usage, it has also been employed for emphasis in a non-literal sense, which can lead to confusion.
