Frolickly

/ˈfrɑlɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a frolicsome or playful manner; in a way that shows lighthearted enjoyment or merriment.

Etymology

Adverbial form created from 'frolick' (adjective) or 'frolic' (noun/verb) + '-ly' suffix. This follows the standard pattern for forming adverbs in English.

Kelly Says

The '-ly' adverb suffix is so productive in English that you can pile it onto almost any root—'frolickly' sounds natural even though it's rarely used, beaten out by the more common 'frolicfully' or 'playfully.'
