thankfully

/ˈθæŋkfəɫi/ adv

fortunately, gratefully.

Word Origin Like thanklessly, this comes from the root meaning 'thought.' Thankfully means 'in a manner full of thought/gratitude.' The -ful suffix means 'full of,' so thankful is 'full of thanks.' The same root gives us thought, thoughtful, and bethink (to think about). The -ly makes it an adverb. So when you say 'thankfully,' you're literally saying 'thoughtfully.'
