Couthily

/ˈkaʊðɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a couth, sophisticated, or refined manner; with good manners and elegance.

Etymology

Formed from 'couth' or 'couthie' with the adverb suffix '-ly,' creating an adverbial form that modifies actions or behaviors.

Kelly Says

Couthily is almost never used because 'couth' itself sounds slightly invented and humorous, so adding '-ly' to make it describe how you'd do something makes it even more tongue-in-cheek.
