moodily

/ˈmuːdɪli/ adv B2

in a gloomy manner

Word Origin Moodily comes from moody, which is mood + y, and mood itself is from Old English mōd, meaning 'mind, spirit, courage.' So being moody originally meant being full of spirit or feeling, not necessarily grumpy. The same root is in the word mood, of course, and moodiness.
