gullibly

/ˈɡʌlɪbli/ adv

In a gullible way or manner.

Word Origin 'Gullible' likely comes from the idea of swallowing anything — from Latin 'gula' (throat). A gullible person 'swallows' any story. The adverb gullibly adds -ly. The same root 'gula' gives us 'gullet' and 'guzzle' (to drink greedily). So being gullible is like having an open throat for deception.
