gleefully

/ˈɡɫifəɫi/ adv

With glee; joyfully

Word Origin From Old English 'glēo' — which meant not just joy but also music and entertainment. So 'gleefully' is doing something with that same lighthearted, musical joy. The word 'glee' itself is from that root, and 'gleeful' is the adjective form.
