fancifully

/ˈfænsɪfəɫli/ adv

In a fanciful manner.

Word Origin Fancifully comes from fancy, which is a contraction of fantasy, from Greek phantasia 'imagination, appearance.' The root phainein 'to show' also gives us epiphany (a showing forth), diaphanous (showing through), and sycophant (originally 'fig-shower'). So fancifully means in a way full of imagination.

adv In a fanciful manner.

She fancifully decorated the room with glittering stars and moon shapes.
