Definition
In a way that relates to or functions as a gerund, which is a verb form that acts like a noun (such as 'running' in 'I enjoy running').
Etymology
From gerund (Latin gerundium, from gerere 'to carry out') plus the adverbial suffix -ally, creating an adverb describing how something functions in the grammatical way gerunds do.
Kelly Says
It's wild that gerunds are the only verb form that can be truly transformed into a noun—'running' becomes a thing you can love or hate, unlike regular verbs. This linguistic shape-shifting helped English speakers express abstract concepts without needing entirely new words.
