In a swift, nimble, or agile manner; with dexterity or quickness (archaic or rare).
From Middle English 'delivrely,' derived from 'deliver' in its sense of 'moving quickly or freely' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' Rare by the 1700s as 'nimbly' and 'swiftly' became preferred.
This word is practically extinct but captures something lost: once, 'deliver' meant not just 'hand something over' but 'move with grace and speed,' a reminder that word meanings narrow over centuries.
