Coonily

/ˈkuːnɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner resembling or relating to raccoons, or in the style of raccoon hunting.

Etymology

From coony (adjective) with the addition of the adverb-forming suffix -ly, creating an adverb that describes how something is done or how something appears.

Kelly Says

Adding -ly to create adverbs is one of English's most productive patterns, but 'coonily' is so specialized that it rarely appears outside of hunting communities and historical frontier texts.
