feelingly
In heartfelt manner
Feelingly means with deep emotion or sincere feeling: She spoke feelingly about her late father.
The word suggests genuine sentiment rather than detached observation—someone who describes an experience feelingly conveys not just facts but emotional truth.
It's somewhat literary and old-fashioned, more likely found in novels than casual speech.
