helpingly

/ˈhɛɫpɪŋli/ adv

In a way that helps.

Word Origin From Old English 'helpan' 'to help', from Proto-Germanic. Helpingly means in a helping manner. The root gives us help, helper, helpful, helpless, and helping (a portion of food). The PIE root *kelb- also gives us 'shelter' and 'shield' — all about protection. So helpingly is offering aid.
