Supposed (as adj.)
From the extract below, what does it mean by the word "supposed" as in the phrase "a supposed list"?
"Last weekend, we reported that a supposed list of the four games had made its way online, including New Super Luigi U, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD. This list couldn't have been more far off - well, except for Wind Waker HD."
does it mean something ones was expecting it to be and has already known beforehand about its upcoming arrival?
Thanks in advance,

No, it means that the list was presented as a true list, but its veracity was doubtful. One might suppose it to be real. )

No, it means that the list was presented as a true list, but its veracity was doubtful. One might suppose it to be real. (The word is pronounced with a secondary accent on the last syllable in that context: suh-POZE-id rather than suh-POZE'd.)

Not proven to exist. May not be real.
BTW, the pronunciation is different than the past tense of suppose. It's suppo-zid.
