gaspingly

/ˈɡæspɪŋli/ adv

With gasps.

Word Origin 'Gasp' from Proto-Germanic 'gaispōną' meaning 'to yawn, gape.' The '-ing' makes it a participle, and '-ly' an adverb: in a gasping manner, with open-mouthed breaths. The word is related to 'gape' and 'yawn' — all about opening wide. The same root gives us 'gasper' (one who gasps).

adv With gasps.
