In a fortifying manner; in a way that strengthens or encourages resolve.
From 'fortifying' + '-ly' (adverbial suffix). The '-ly' suffix converts adjectives to adverbs, modifying how an action occurs.
This adverb is rarely used today, but it captures something beautiful: the idea that a word, meal, or gesture can strengthen someone in the very moment it's delivered.
