Draftily

/ˈdræftɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that involves drafts of air; in a way that is breezy, windy, or susceptible to air currents.

Etymology

From 'drafty' plus the adverb suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives into adverbs describing how something is done or happens.

Kelly Says

Using an adverb like 'draftily' shows how English evolved to describe comfort in rooms—medieval people didn't need this word because they assumed castles were always freezing and drafty!
