Definition
In a damp manner; in a way that is wet or moist.
Etymology
From 'damp' plus the adverb-forming suffix '-ly,' creating an adverbial form that describes action or state in a damp way.
Kelly Says
You wouldn't normally say 'damply' in everyday speech, but writers use it to create atmosphere—'he damply touched her forehead' sounds creepier than 'he wetly touched her forehead'!
