expressly

This adverb is primarily used in formal, legal, or official contexts to eliminate ambiguity. When used to mean "explicitly," it emphasizes that a statement was made with absolute clarity to prevent any possible misinterpretation. It is frequently paired with verbs of communication or prohibition, such as "stated," "forbidden," or "warned."

When used to mean "specifically," it highlights a singular, dedicated purpose. In this sense, it suggests a high degree of intentionality, implying that the object or action was created or performed for one reason and no other. It is more formal than "specifically" and is often used in technical or professional documentation.
