Is there a single word that means "just for show", meaning that someone is doing something outwardly to trick the world into thinking they are something that they are not?

Best Answer

"Ostensibly" is a good choice.

From Oxford Dictionaries online: "Apparently or purportedly, but perhaps not actually"
