weightily
In serious manner
Weightily means in a manner that carries weight or significance.
Someone who speaks weightily delivers words with gravity and seriousness: He paused, then pronounced weightily on the matter.
The word can also describe physical heaviness, though this use is rare.
Weightily often carries a faintly pompous tone, suggesting someone impressed by their own importance.
