laughingly

/ˈɫæfɪŋɫi/ adv B1

in a happy way

Word Origin From Old English 'hliehhan', which goes back to Proto-Germanic *hlahjaną — the sound of laughter is ancient. The PIE root *kleg- meant to cry out or make a sound, so laugh is literally a vocal outburst. Laughingly is doing something with laughter. Related: laughter, laughable (able to be laughed at), and even chuckle shares the root.
