What does FEYLY mean in Scrabble?
adverb
literaryarchaic
In a fey manner; in a way that seems strange, otherworldly, or touched by a sense of fate or doom.
Feyly describes the manner of someone who acts fey, meaning strangely detached from ordinary concerns or touched by a premonition of death. A person who laughs feyly might seem eerily carefree just before disaster strikes, as if sensing what is coming. The word is rare outside Scottish and literary writing, where fey retains its older sense of fated to die.
