queerly

• ظرف يعني بطريقة غريبة أو غير مألوفة أو طريفة. وفي سياقات قديمة أو أدبية قد يعني بطريقة مريبة أو مشبوهة، وهو أقل شيوعًا في الاستعمال الحديث بسبب تغيّر دلالة الصفة.

An adverb meaning 'in a strange, odd, or unusual manner.' It can also be used in older or literary contexts to mean 'in a suspicious or questionable way.' In modern usage, it is less common due to the shift in meaning of the adjective 'queer.'
