smoothly

/ˈsmuðɫi/ adv A1, A2

without any trouble

Word Origin From Old English smōth, which is of uncertain origin but likely from Proto-Germanic *smeudaz 'smooth, soft'. The word has always meant 'even, not rough'. The adverb smoothly just adds -ly, so it's a simple, ancient word that hasn't changed much.
