Crispily

/ˈkrɪspəli/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

From 'crispy' plus the adverb suffix '-ly,' which transforms adjectives into adverbs describing how something happens. Follows the pattern: crisp → crispy → crispily.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to adjectives is so common that most English speakers can instantly understand that 'crispily' means 'in a crispy way,' even if they've never seen the word before—a beautiful feature of how English builds meaning.
