Etymology
The word 'toothily' is derived from the adjective 'toothy', which generally means having many teeth, or showing them prominently when one smiles. The term 'toothy' has its origins in the Old English word 'tลรฐ', meaning 'tooth', which has cognates in several other Germanic languages, such as German 'Zahn' and Dutch 'tand'. The adverbial form 'toothily' simply adds the '-ly' suffix to create an adverb that describes the manner of an action related to teeth. The use of 'toothily' became more prevalent in the 20th century, finding a place in literary works that depicted emotions and expressions involving large smiles or mouth movements. People often associate toothy smiles with friendliness and approachability, giving rise to the usage of 'toothily' to convey cheerful expressions.
