Frailly

/ˈfreɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a frail or fragile manner; with weakness, delicacy, or vulnerability.

Etymology

Adverbial form of 'frail', created by adding the standard adverb-forming suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'frail'.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ly' transforms an adjective describing a state into an adverb describing an action—'she moved frailly' means the frailty itself became observable through motion, which is clever linguistic work!
