Gushily

/ˈɡʌʃɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a gushy manner; with excessive sentiment, enthusiasm, or effusive expression.

Etymology

From gushy (adjective) plus adverb suffix '-ly' (in the manner of), creating the adverbial form.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ly' transforms any adjective into an adverb, which is why you can describe almost any action—someone can dance 'awkwardly' or speak 'gushily'—making English's adverb system incredibly flexible.
