Friskingly

/ˈfrɪskɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a frisking manner; while frisking or in a playful, lively manner.

Etymology

From 'frisking' (present participle of 'frisk') plus adverb suffix '-ly.'

Kelly Says

Victorian literature used 'friskingly' to describe horses prancing and young ladies moving through ballrooms—it's an adverb that feels almost onomatopoetic in its bounciness.
