throatily

/θɹˈoʊɾili/ adv

In a throaty manner.

Word Origin 'Throat' comes from Proto-Germanic *þrutō, meaning the front of the neck. Add -y to get 'throaty' (sounding deep in the throat), then -ly to make it an adverb: throatily means in a throaty manner. The -ly suffix itself comes from a Germanic word for 'body, form' (*līkaz), so throatily is literally 'in the form of a throaty thing'. Related words: 'cutthroat', 'deep-throat'.
