Etymology

From the adjective 'dronish' with the adverbial suffix '-ly.' This two-step word formation (drone + -ish + -ly) creates an adverb from a noun.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to 'dronish' creates this wonderfully layered word that sounds almost as tedious as the behavior it describes—it's a self-demonstrating word!
