Etymology
The word 'friskily' derives from the word 'frisky', which originated in the early 19th century as a modification of the Middle English word 'frisk', meaning lively or playful. 'Frisk' itself comes from the Old Norse word 'friskr', meaning brisk or lively. The suffix '-ily' is added to adjectives to create adverbs, indicating manner or degree. Over time, 'friskily' has come to embody a sense of spirited movement, often associated with youthfulness and exuberance in both animals and humans. Its usage reflects the cultural value placed on playfulness and zest for life, making it a vivid descriptor in literary and casual contexts.
