The traditional sense of hopefully, âin a hopeful mannerâ, has been used since the 17th century. In the second half of the 20th century a new use as a sentence adverb became established, meaning âit is to be hoped thatâ, as in hopefully, weâll see you tomorrow.
brusage note: Some people object to the use of hopefully as a synonym for the phrase `it is hoped that' in a sentence such as hopefully I'll be able to attend the meeting. This use of the adverb first appeared in America in the 1960s, but it has rapidly established itself elsewhere.
