/ˈdæŋɡlɪŋli/ adverb

Etymology

From 'dangling' (present participle of 'dangle') plus the adverbial suffix '-ly' (from Old English, converting adjectives to adverbs).

Kelly Says

You rarely see this word in writing because English speakers prefer to say 'loosely' or just use 'dangle' as a verb — it's like the word that technically exists but hardly anyone actually needs.
