flowingly

/ˈfɫoʊɪŋli/ adv

In a flowing manner.

Word Origin 'Flow' comes from Old English 'flōwan', which meant both 'to flow' and 'to float' — the PIE root '*pleu-' covers flowing, swimming, floating. That's why we have 'flood' (a great flow), 'float' (to stay on the surface), and 'fleet' (swift, originally floating). 'Flowingly' adds '-ing' and '-ly' to make an adverb: in a flowing manner. The same root appears in 'overflow', 'inflow', and 'airflow'.
