liltingly
In cheerful rhythm
Liltingly describes doing something with a lilt—a light, cheerful, rhythmic quality.
The word typically modifies speech or singing that rises and falls in a buoyant, musical way: She spoke liltingly, her voice dancing through the syllables.
It can also describe movement with a similar springy cadence.
