beastilyadv.

Brit.

/ˈbiːstᵻli/, U.S.

/ˈbistᵻli/

Origin: Either (i) formed within English, by derivation. Or (ii) a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: beast n., -y suffix¹, -ly suffix²; beastlily adv.

Etymology: Either (i) < beast n. + -y suffix¹ + -ly suffix², or (ii) a variant (with dissimilation) of beastlily adv. For parallel formations compare e.g. ghostily adv., ghastily adv. Compare earlier beastly adv.Some quots. may show a typographical error for beastlily . A prominent example of such an error led to this word being entered in many dictionaries in the 19th cent.: from 1839, many editions of Shelley's posthumously published translation of Goethe's Scenes from Faust were printed with the line ‘to live more beastily than any beast’, but this reading is now usually rejected by editors as a mistake for beastlily , the form given in the 1824 first edition (see quot. a1822 at beastlily adv.).

Somewhat rare.

In the manner of a beast; like a (wild) animal; bestially.
