Definition
In a manner that is haggish; in a way resembling or characteristic of a hag.
Etymology
From 'haggish' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly,' which converts adjectives to adverbs. This follows standard English word formation patterns.
Kelly Says
Adding '-ly' to adjectives to make adverbs is one of English's most productive word-making tools—it lets us describe how something is done, which is why 'haggishly' feels natural even if it's rarely written.
