In a gliding manner; with smooth, continuous, effortless motion or presentation.
From 'gliding' (present participle of glide) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' creating an adverb that describes how an action is performed.
When a speaker glidingly moves from one topic to another, they make connections so smoothly that listeners don't notice transitions—a rhetorical technique that's either elegant or manipulative depending on intent.
