Generally, the words may be used interchangeably to refer to some amount or degree that is less than the whole. For example, you can say: She is聽辫补谤迟濒测听responsible for their fighting. / She is聽partially聽responsible for their fighting. However,聽partially聽may imply favoritism because it is related to ‘partial’ and does have the archaic sense ‘in a biased manner’. To avoid ambiguity when describing favoritism, say: He is ‘partial’ to pizza. (Do not say: He was聽partially/partly聽favorable to pizza.)
