colorfully

/ˈkəɫɝfɫi/ adv

In a colorful manner.

Word Origin Colorfully combines Latin color with the Old English suffix -ful, meaning 'full of color.' The Latin color itself comes from PIE *kel- 'to cover, conceal' — originally, color was something that covered or disguised a surface. That same root gives us conceal and occult. So colorfully means not just bright, but richly covered in hue.

adv In a colorful manner.

She dressed colorfully for the festival, wearing vibrant patterns and bright hues.
