Ebriously

/ˈɛbriəsli/ adverb

Definition

In a drunk or intoxicated manner; while under the influence of alcohol.

Etymology

From 'ebrious' + the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives to adverbs. The adverb form allows the Latin-based adjective to modify verbs and actions.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' to 'ebrious' creates an adverb that lets you describe actions done in a drunken way—it's the formal way to say 'he behaved drunken-like.'
