Gutsily

/ˈɡʌtsɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that shows courage, boldness, or daring; with guts.

Etymology

From 'gutsy' (courageous) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' Allows the abstract concept of guts-based courage to modify verbs and describe actions.

Kelly Says

The adverb 'gutsily' lets us describe not just who someone is, but *how* they act—'she gutsily faced the challenge' makes 'guts' into a force that animates behavior itself, not just an internal quality.
