In a manner showing embarrassment, confusion, or being taken aback; with visible discomposure.
From 'abashed' (adjective) + '-ly' (adverbial suffix), describing how an action is performed with embarrassment or confusion.
Adding '-ly' to emotional states creates adverbs that describe how people act when feelings overwhelm them—abashedly captures that stumbling, flustered quality!
