droopingly

/ˈdɹupɪŋli/ adv

In a drooping manner.

Word Origin Droopingly comes from droop, which is from Old Norse drúpa 'to droop, hang down,' from PIE *dʰreub- 'to fall, drip.' The same root gives us drop, drip, and dribble. The adverb droopingly describes doing something with a sagging, sinking motion. The -ing and -ly suffixes turn the verb into an adverb of manner.
