dreamingly

/ˈdɹimɪŋli/ adv

In a dreamy manner; dreamily.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *draumaz 'dream' — dreamingly means in a dreamy manner. The root is of uncertain origin, but it's related to Old Norse draumr and German Traum. The -ing and -ly suffixes turn it into an adverb. Related words include dreamer, dreamy, and daydream. The word originally meant 'joy, mirth' in Old English, then shifted to 'sleeping vision' — a fascinating meaning shift.
