Gushingly

/ˈɡʌʃɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a gushing manner; with an uncontrolled outpouring of fluid or emotion.

Etymology

From gush plus present participle '-ing' plus adverb '-ly', creating a double-suffix adverbial form emphasizing the continuous action.

Kelly Says

Words ending in '-ingly' (like 'accordingly' or 'laughingly') suggest both the action and the manner simultaneously—'gushingly' captures both the flowing action and the emotional excessiveness in one word.
