artfully
In clever fashion
Artfully means with skill and craft, often implying cleverness or cunning: an artfully constructed argument, artfully dodging the question.
The word can suggest admirable technique or manipulative design, depending on context.
An artfully arranged room shows aesthetic care; an artfully worded denial may be hiding something.
