Definition of blithely

blithelyadverb

một cách vui vẻ

/ˈblaɪðli//ˈblaɪðli/

The word "blithely" traces its roots back to the Old English word "bliþe," meaning "joyful," "happy," or "merry." Over time, "bliþe" evolved into "blithe," which retained the core meaning of cheerfulness. The "-ly" suffix, common in English, was added to form "blithely," signifying a manner or state of being blithe. This transformation occurred sometime in the 14th century, solidifying "blithely" as a descriptive word for actions or states characterized by lightheartedness and carefree joy.
