mainly
This term functions as a qualifier to indicate that while other factors or components may exist, one specific element dominates the situation. It carries a neutral tone and is widely used in both academic reporting and casual conversation to establish a primary focus without excluding secondary details.
In contrast to "only," which denotes exclusivity, "mainly" allows for the presence of exceptions. It suggests a majority or a principal intention, making it ideal for descriptions where a general trend is more important than an absolute rule.
