Definitions

  1. in a benign manner

Word origin

From Middle English benignely; equivalent to benign + -ly.

Used in a sentence

  • When he recovered sufficiently to articulate, Bunson had stalked away, and Quin was regarding him benignly, like an adjutant bird who had just concluded an interesting experiment on a worm.
  • Modern doctors nod benignly at some of the remedies and principles in Bald's Leechbook, but none has a good word to say for bloodletting - nor for cautery, the other medieval method of balancing the humours.
