Fleecily

/ˈfliːsɪli/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

From 'fleecy' (adjective) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which transforms adjectives into adverbs describing how an action is performed or how something exists.

Kelly Says

The existence of 'fleecily' is wonderfully specific—it lets poets and descriptive writers say a cloud moved 'fleecily' across the sky, painting a picture with one word that would otherwise need a whole phrase.
