glossily

/ɡlˈɔsɪli/ adv

In a glossy manner.

Word Origin From gloss, which comes from Old Norse glossi 'flame, glow' — so glossily means with a shiny, glowing surface. The same root gives us glossy, glossiness, and the verb gloss (to make shiny). The word is related to glow and glass, all suggesting a smooth, reflective surface.
