Definitions and meaning of thusly

thusly

Etymology

thus +‎ -ly, dating from the 19th century, seemingly coined by educated writers to make fun of uneducated persons trying to sound genteel, with a false inference that thus is not an adverb.

Pronunciation

  • (General American, Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈðʌs.li/

Adverb

thusly (not comparable)

  1. (proscribed) thus (in this way).
    • 1995 December, John P. Wiley Jr, quoting Edward R. Harrison, Smithsonian Magazine:
      The history of the Universe has been summed up thusly: "Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas, which, given enough time, turns into people."
  2. (proscribed) thus (therefore)

Usage notes

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."
