Etymology

The term 'woozily' is derived from the adjective 'woozy', which can be traced back to the early 20th century. 'Woozy' itself likely originated from the word 'wooz', which is considered a variant of 'woolly', suggesting a sense of confusion similar to how one might feel if they were wrapped in a thick layer of wool. The prefix '-ly' indicates that it is an adverb describing the manner in which an action is performed. The usage of 'woozy' gained popularity in colloquial English, especially in contexts related to dizziness or light-headedness, thus leading to the formation of the adverb 'woozily'. Over time, it has found its way into informal speech and writing, commonly used to describe mental states during moments of fatigue or after consuming intoxicants.
