thusly (not comparable)
(sometimes proscribed) thus (in this way).
Although thusly has diffused into popular usage, it may be regarded as incorrect by some; instead, other equivalent expressions (such as thus or this way) can be used. It originated in the Eastern U.S, and it is still more common in American than British English; it is "often used for amusement or to make an ironic point."
• Luthys, hustly
