/æˈstuːʃəsli/ adverb

Etymology

From astucious + -ly (adverb suffix). The adverbial form of the adjective astucious, following standard English adverb formation patterns.

Kelly Says

Adverbs ending in -ly can sometimes sound awkward when the adjective already implies manner (like 'astuciously' from 'astucious'), which is why 'astutely' has become the preferred modern form for the same meaning.
