blushingly

/ˈblʌʃɪŋli/ adv

In a blushing manner; in a manner that evokes a blush.

Word Origin Blush comes from an old Germanic word meaning 'to shine or glow' — so when you blush, your cheeks literally glow red. That's why we have words like bleach (to make pale by removing color) and blithe (cheerful, glowing with happiness). Blushingly turns that glow into an adverb: doing something with a rosy, self-conscious shine.
