cheeringly

With uplifting spirit

Cheeringly is an adverb describing actions done in a way that uplifts or encourages.

If someone speaks cheeringly, their words are meant to hearten or comfort: She waved cheeringly as the runners passed by.

The word is uncommon in contemporary usage, with cheerfully often serving similar purposes, though cheeringly specifically emphasizes the intent to cheer others rather than simply expressing one's own good mood.
