queerly

• Наречие, означающее 'странным, необычным или причудливым образом'. В более старых или литературных контекстах может означать 'подозрительным или сомнительным образом'. В современном употреблении встречается реже из-за изменения значения прилагательного 'queer'.

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.'
