Etymology: "Availingly" is a plain formation: the adjective-forming base "availing" (from "avail" with the present participle ending) plus the adverbial suffix "-ly." It describes acting in a way that actually produces a useful result, so the word simply adds the manner sense to the verb's core idea of being of use. The verb "avail" itself has an older root in the sense of being of value or profit. Its base, "vail," comes via Old French "avaloir," meaning to be worth or to benefit, and it is tied to the idea of something being worth or of value. That is why "availing" describes effort that pays off rather than effort that merely happens.

Synonyms: helpfully, usefully
