Giddily

/ˈɡɪdɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a giddy manner; with dizziness, frivolousness, or excited silliness.

Etymology

From giddy with the adverbial suffix -ly, which transforms adjectives into adverbs that describe how an action is performed.

Kelly Says

When you add -ly to adjectives, you're describing the manner of an action—'she laughed giddily' tells us something about how the laughing happened, not just that she laughed.
