straightly
In linear fashion
Straightly means in a straight manner—directly, without curving or deviating.
The word is rare and old-fashioned; straight itself serves as the adverb in modern English: Go straight ahead rather than Go straightly ahead.
You might encounter straightly in older texts or deliberately formal prose: He looked straightly into her eyes.
