viscously

/ˈvɪskəsli/ adv

In a viscous manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'viscum,' meaning mistletoe — but also the sticky birdlime made from its berries. That's why viscous means thick and gluey. The adverb viscously just adds -ly. The same root gives us viscosity and viscid, all from that sticky plant.

adv In a viscous manner.
