Syntaxiom

beamingly

/ˈbimɪŋli/ adv

In a beaming way, or while beaming.

Word Origin Beam originally meant a tree or a long piece of wood, then a ray of light (like a wooden beam stretching across). So beamingly means 'in a way that shines like a beam of light.' The word sunbeam captures that image perfectly. The PIE root *bheu- meant to grow or swell, which is what a tree does.
