Seemingly/seemly
What's the defference of seemingly from seemly in a context? Please, give me some possible ways of using seemly but where it is not seemingly.
What if I say: that was a man who is seemly more than 20 years of age? or that was a man who is seemingly more than 20 years of age?
Well.. they both seem to be similar to each other for me :(

"Seemly" is not a word in English. "Seemingly" is a word, and it means "it appears to be." Example:
We were surprised to discover this seemingly successful man actually had no money.
