Dignifiedly

/ˈdɪɡnɪfaɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that shows or expresses dignity, nobility, or worthy composure.

Etymology

From 'dignified' (adjective) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. A layered formation showing how English builds adverbs from adjectives that themselves derive from verbs.

Kelly Says

The adverb 'dignifiedly' is so rare that even many spell-checkers don't recognize it—yet it perfectly captures moments like how Elizabeth I walked into a room or how a penguin waddles!
