True rhymes with the second syllable: loosely (/ˈluːsli/) and diffusely (/dɪˈfjuːsli/) — both match the /uːsli/ ending of profusely (/prəˈfjuːsli/). The -fuse words confuse, infuse, and refuse are spelling lookalikes but end in /fjuːz/, not /fjuːs/; profuse (adjective) keeps /prəˈfjuːs/ and shares the base but is not an adverb.
