Armlessly

/ˈɑrmlɪsli/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

From armless plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' creating an adverb that describes how an action is performed in an armed or defenseless state.

Kelly Says

Using 'armlessly' to describe someone walking into danger makes the act sound incredibly vulnerable—one word that conveys both physical and metaphorical defenselessness!
