Definition
In a stupid or foolish manner; in the manner of someone lacking intelligence or judgment.
Etymology
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'doltish'. This follows the standard pattern of converting adjectives to adverbs in English.
Kelly Says
When we add '-ly' to an adjective like 'doltish', we're creating an adverb that describes how an action is done—so 'acting doltishly' means doing something in a stupid way, showing how grammar lets us express the same idea as either a description or an action.
