Germanly

/ˈdʒɜrmənli/ adverb

Definition

In a German manner or style; in a way characteristic of German culture or people.

Etymology

From German + -ly (from Old English -lice, meaning 'in the manner of'). This adverb allows description of actions performed in a distinctly German way.

Kelly Says

Adverbs like 'germanly' reflect a linguistic quirk: English happily adds '-ly' to almost any adjective, giving us endless ways to describe things 'in the manner of'—from 'angelic' to 'angelically'.
