In an empty manner; without substance, meaning, or genuine feeling.
From empty + -ily (adverbial suffix creating adverbs from adjectives), derived from Old English -e + -ly (meaning 'in the manner of'), combined with the adjectival stem empty.
Emptily is that rare adverb that describes not just physical emptiness but psychological or emotional emptiness—to speak emptily means your words lack genuine conviction or substance, making it perfect for describing insincere compliments or hollow promises.
