brightly

/ˈbɹaɪtɫi/ adv B1 ✓

In a bright manner.

Word Origin From bright, which goes back to Proto-Germanic *berhtaz 'shining' — so brightly means in a shining manner. The same root gives us brightness and brighten. The PIE root *bhereg- 'to shine' also appears in words like birch (the tree with white, shining bark) and perhaps even in the name Bertha (bright one).
