Curledly

/ˈkɜrldli/ adverb

Definition

In a curled manner; with curls or in a way that forms loops or spirals.

Etymology

From curled (past tense of curl) + -ly (adverb suffix). The -ly suffix transforms adjectives into adverbs that describe how an action is done.

Kelly Says

This is a rare adverb—most English speakers would say 'in curls' or 'curling' instead. It's the kind of word you might find in Victorian novels describing how hair fell curledly around someone's face.
