Facetiously is how you speak or write when you are being facetious: you say something as a joke when the moment is serious, trying to sound clever, and it often lands as silly or . It does not add a new meaning; it only tells you the manner. You will see it in lines like he asked facetiously, where the adverb marks the tone. It has the same slightly sharp, feel as the adjective. Said kindly, it is a warning about timing, not a badge for being funny.
不正經地；插科打諢地
組成From facetious + -ly. The -ly turns the adjective into an adverb (how you do it).
