Gazingly

/ˈɡeɪzɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that involves gazing or looking steadily at something.

Etymology

From 'gaze' (to look steadily), plus the adverbial suffix '-ly' which converts adjectives and verbs into adverbs describing how something is done.

Kelly Says

This word is rarely used in modern English, but it's a perfect example of how English lets us turn almost any verb into an adverb—though we'd usually just say 'while gazing' instead!
