virtuously

/ˈvɝtʃuəsli/ adv

In a virtuous manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'virtus' meaning manliness or excellence, from 'vir' meaning man. Originally, virtue was about masculine strength and courage, but it evolved to mean moral excellence. So virtuously means acting with moral strength. The root also gives us 'virtual' (having the essence of something, though not actual) and 'virtuoso' (a person with great skill).
