Definition of merrily

merrilyadverb

vui vẻ

/ˈmerəli//ˈmerəli/

"Merrily" stems from the Old English word "mærige," meaning "joyful" or "merry." This word, in turn, likely originated from a Proto-Germanic root word, "margaz," meaning "horse." This connection might seem strange, but horses were often associated with celebrations and festivity in ancient cultures. Over time, "mærige" evolved into "merry" and eventually "merrily," signifying a cheerful and joyful manner.
