chivalrously
In knightly fashion
Chivalrously means in a manner showing the courteous, honorable behavior traditionally expected of medieval knights—especially gallantry toward women.
A man who chivalrously opens doors or offers his coat embodies old-fashioned protective courtesy: He chivalrously offered her his seat on the crowded train.
The word can carry either admiring or gently ironic undertones depending on the speaker's view of such gestures.
