hopingly

/ˈhoʊpɪŋli/ adv

In a hopeful manner.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *hupōną 'to hope' — hopingly is doing something with hope. The -ly suffix comes from Old English -lice, from *likō 'body, form,' so it literally means 'in the form of hoping.' The PIE root *kup- 'to desire, wish' also gives us covet and cupidity — all about longing. The same root appears in love (via a different path).
