spryly
In lively fashion
Spryly means in a nimble, energetic way, especially when such agility is unexpected given age or circumstances.
The word typically describes elderly people moving with surprising quickness: She spryly hopped off the porch.
It carries a note of admiration—vitality defying expectations.
