Breezily

/ˈbriːzɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a breezy manner; either with a breeze or in a casual, light, and relaxed way.

Etymology

Formed from 'breezy' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives into adverbs. The -ly suffix comes from Old English '-lice,' meaning 'like' or 'in the manner of.'

Kelly Says

The -ly ending is one of English's most productive suffixes—we can slap it on almost any adjective to make an adverb, so 'breezily' follows a pattern that's been working for over 1,000 years!
