trickily

/tɹˈɪkili/ adv

In a tricky manner

Word Origin From Latin 'tricae' meaning trifles or perplexities — so a trick originally was a small deception or puzzle. Tricky means full of tricks, and trickily is the adverb. The word trickster (one who tricks) and trickery (deception) come from the same root. Even hat-trick (three successes) comes from a trick in cricket.
