Usage Note
Véritablement is a stronger and more formal synonym of vraiment. It emphasises that something is authentic or real, not merely apparent. It often appears in academic and journalistic writing. The adjective véritable means 'real' or 'genuine' and can precede a noun for emphasis, as in un véritable désastre.
