jazzily

/dʒˈæzɪli/ adv

In a jazzy way.

Word Origin Jazzily comes from jazzy, from jazz, a word of uncertain origin but likely from American English slang, possibly from a Creole or African word meaning 'energy, excitement.' Jazz music is all about swing and improvisation. The -y and -ly suffixes turn it into an adverb meaning 'in a lively, energetic manner.' So jazzily describes doing something with the spontaneous pep of jazz.
