lightsomely

• Устаревшее наречие, означающее 'легко, весело или проворно'. Использовалось для описания действий, выполненных с грацией, живостью или легкомыслием, но в значительной степени вышло из современного употребления.

An archaic adverb meaning 'in a light, cheerful, or nimble manner.' It was used to describe actions performed with grace, brightness, or levity, but has largely fallen out of modern usage.
