swayingly
In rocking motion
In a swaying manner—with a rocking, wavering, or side-to-side motion.
The adverb is rare, appearing mostly in literary description: She walked swayingly toward the door, The branches moved swayingly in the breeze.
The effect suggests gentle, rhythmic movement rather than violent motion.
