sanguinely
In hopeful spirits
Sanguinely means in an optimistic or cheerfully confident manner: She sanguinely predicted the project would succeed despite the setbacks.
The word derives from an old belief that blood (Latin *sanguis*) governed temperament—a person with plenty of it would be ruddy-cheeked and hopeful.
The connection to blood survives mainly in sanguinary (bloody) and consanguinity (blood relation).
