Gorgedly

/ˈɡɔrdʒɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that is gorged or full; in a way suggesting greedy or excessive eating.

Etymology

From the adjective 'gorged' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly', creating an adverb meaning 'in a gorged manner.'

Kelly Says

This adverb is quite rare and shows how English allows us to build descriptive words systematically, but not all possible combinations catch on—'gorgedly' follows all the rules but sounds awkward, showing the difference between what's grammatically possible and what speakers actually use.
