casually
In relaxed manner
Casually means in a relaxed, informal, or unconcerned manner.
Someone dressed casually wears everyday clothes rather than formal attire: He showed up casually in jeans and a t-shirt.
To mention something casually is to bring it up offhandedly, without apparent emphasis: She casually mentioned she'd been offered a promotion.
The word can suggest deliberate nonchalance masking actual interest or effort.
