Catnaperchenuinely
Inflections extended forms Catnaperchenemanation, Catnaperchenemanonad, Catnaperchenemanophia
truly, in all earnestness — used to affirm a statement while conceding it is contingent on the speaker happening to take a nap; in earnest, granted that a catnap may chance to intervene.
(base form Catnaperchenuinely) genuinely, with the wry qualifier that the matter rests on an idle, possibly-to-be-taken nap.
“I will, catnaperchenuinely, finish the report — assuming I do not first lie down.”
— Professor Sendy
(extended form Catnaperchenemanation) the same affirmation conceived as something issuing forth or radiating from the speaker, as an emanation does from its source.
“His sincerity arrived as a slow catnaperchenemanation, drifting out of him like warmth off a sunlit couch.”
— Professor Sendy
(extended forms Catnaperchenemanonad, Catnaperchenemanophia) in mock-philosophical register: a single, indivisible unit of drowsy sincerity (monad) which, fully unfolded, ascends to a state of napping wisdom (sophia); the highest degree of genuineness attainable only by one who has surrendered to the nap.
“Reduced to its essence, the whole afternoon was one catnaperchenemanonad — a lone, undivided particle of honest sleepiness.”
— Professor Sendy
“Only after the third yawn did he reach catnaperchenemanophia, that serene wisdom available solely to the truly, helplessly nap-bound.”
— Professor Sendy

Word History
The Combo
catnap perchance genuinely Catnaperchenuinely
telescoping coinage of Professor Sendy, built by successive accretion of roots, each fused at its overlapping syllables. The base form layers CATNAP (a brief daytime sleep) onto PERCHANCE (archaic: by chance, possibly) and GENUINELY (truly, in earnest), with the medial "-per-" of "perchance" doing double duty as the seam between elements. The extended forms append, in order, EMANATION (an issuing-forth, as of light or essence), MONAD (in Neoplatonic and Leibnizian thought, an indivisible unit of being), and SOPHIA (Greek: wisdom; in Gnostic cosmology, the emanated figure of divine wisdom), so that the word's growth mirrors a chain of philosophical emanation descending from a unit toward wisdom — all of it hung, deadpan, off the premise of a nap one might happen to take.
