moistly

/ˈmɔɪstli/ adv

In a moist manner.

Word Origin Moist traces back to Latin mustum 'new wine, unfermented grape juice' — so moist originally meant 'juicy like new wine'. That's a vivid image: something moist is fresh and juicy. The same root gives us musty (originally 'like must', now meaning stale), and moisture. So moistly is doing something with that fresh dampness.

adv In a moist manner.

The cake was moistly delicious, fresh from the oven.
