fancifully

Meanings

1. 1
   adv

   in an imaginative, playful, or unrealistic way

   The child fancifully imagined the clouds as ships at sea.

From fanciful plus the adverb-forming suffix -ly. Fanciful comes from fancy, so the word keeps the sense of imagination, invention, or decorative unreality.
