Etymology: "Fluffily" is a plain formation: the adjective "fluffy" with the adverb-forming suffix "-ly" added to the end. The adjective itself comes from "fluff," a word of Germanic-style sound that was used in English for the soft, light down or loose fibres of a bird or plant, and later for any light, airy substance. Adding "-ly" turns the quality into a manner of doing something, so "fluffily" describes an action carried out in a soft, light, or puffy way.

Synonyms: softly, lightly, airily
