Definition
In a cowardly, timid, or fearful manner; without courage or boldness.
Etymology
Adverbial form created by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'chickenhearted,' following standard English adverb formation patterns. Maintains the meaning of the base adjective but modifies verbs and adjectives.
Kelly Says
Adding '-ly' to 'chickenhearted' creates the adverb form, but almost no one actually uses 'chickenheartedly' in speech—it's so awkward that people just say 'cowardly' instead, showing how not all grammatically possible words survive in real English.
