/ˈmuːdɪli//ˈmuːdɪli/

The word "moodily" is an adverb that has its roots in the 17th century. It is derived from the adjective "mood," which means a person's emotional state or temper. The prefix "mood-" comes from the Old English word "mōd," which is related to the Proto-Germanic word "*mutiz," meaning "temper" or "disposition." In Middle English (circa 1300-1500), the word "mood" also developed a sense of "fashion" or "style," particularly in architectural and artistic contexts. This sense of "mood" likely influenced the development of the adverb "moodily," which emerged in the 17th century. Today, "moodily" is used to describe something done or happening in a melancholic, introspective, or contemplative manner.
