Aimfully

/ˈeɪmfəli/ adverb

Definition

In an aimful manner; with clear purpose, intention, and deliberate direction.

Etymology

From 'aimful' (full of aim) plus the adverial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives into adverbs describing how an action is performed.

Kelly Says

This adverb is like the opposite of 'aimlessly'—but we almost never use it! English speakers prefer 'purposefully' and let 'aimfully' fade away, showing how language naturally consolidates around the most popular words.
