Queenly means like a queen, or fit for a queen: the way someone stands, , or speaks, or a room that feels grand enough for one. It is about manner and atmosphere, not the official job “the Queen.” You might hear a queenly wave, queenly calm, or queenly dignity. It can also be an adverb — to do something in a queenly way — built from the same pieces. The word sounds a little old or ; people do not use it much in ordinary street talk.
有女王風範的、像女王的
組成From Middle English queenly, from Old English cwēnlīċ, equivalent to queen + -ly (“like / in the manner of”). The adverb is the same: queen + -ly.
