devoutly

/dɪˈvaʊtɫi/ adv

In a devout manner.

Word Origin From Latin de- 'completely' and vovere 'to vow' — so devote is 'to vow completely,' and devout is the adjective meaning 'deeply devoted.' Devoutly is the adverb. The root vovere gives us vote (originally a vow), votive (offered by vow), and avow (to declare openly). The PIE root *wegwh- meant 'to speak solemnly,' so devoutly is literally 'in a fully vowed manner.'
