angelically

/ænˈdʒɛɫɪkɫi/ adv

In an angelic manner.

Word Origin From Greek angelos 'messenger' — angels were originally divine messengers, not winged cherubs. Angelically means 'in the manner of a messenger from God.' The same root gives us archangel (chief messenger), evangelist (good messenger), and angelic. The shift from 'messenger' to 'heavenly being' is a great example of how religious context transforms a word.
