giddily

/ɡˈɪdɪli/ adv

In a giddy manner.

Word Origin Giddy comes from Old English gydig, literally 'possessed by a god' — the idea being that when you're giddy, you're so lightheaded you might as well be under a divine spell. That's why giddily means acting in a dizzy, excited way. The same root gives us god, of course, and giddyup (a command to a horse, originally 'get going, as if inspired').
