Meanings

   adv

   with neatness

   I put the slippers under the bed neatly.

2. 2
   adv

   In a neat manner.

   I was delighted to see A Woman's Place take a stand against censorship. But I noted with some cynicism that the exhibit failed to include any of the numerous publications suppressed by institutions of the feminist community. It thus neatly avoided acknowledging the role being played by the women's movement as a force for censorship (and the rather sordid past of A Woman's Place itself).

From neat + -ly.
