mơ màng

/ˈdriːmɪli//ˈdriːmɪli/

The word "dreamily" is an adverb that has been in use since the late 14th century. It is derived from the Old English word "dream", meaning "mind" or "thought", and the suffix "-ly", which is a common adverbial formative. The word originally meant "in a way that is characteristic of dreams", and was used to describe something that is done or done in a way that is similar to the way one would behave in a dream. Over time, the connotation of the word broadened to include a sense of wistfulness, nostalgia, or longing, and is now often used to describe something that is done or experienced with a sense of quiet contemplation or introspection. For example, one might say "she gazed out at the ocean dreamily, lost in thought" or "he drove through the countryside dreamily, taking in the scenic views".
