A Scottish dialect adverb meaning mostly, for the greater part, or approximately — a qualifier implying that something is largely but not entirely the case. It can also mean 'partly.' Derived from 'feck' (the greater part, most of, from 'effect'), which also gives us the Scottish phrase 'the feck of them' (most of them). Now archaic and confined to dialect literature.
He'd feckly finished the work by Tuesday, with just the painting left to do.
