SIBI-P1 Translation G21157-01

good-spiritedly

Morphological NotesGr,D = adverb. εὐθύμως is the adverbial form of εὔθυμος, expressing manner ("in a good-spirited way"). It does not inflect for case, number, or gender.
Rendering RationaleThe adverb εὐθύμως derives from εὔθυμος ("good-spirited," from εὖ, "well," and θυμός, "inner spirit/heart"). Rendering it as "good-spiritedly" preserves the root idea of an inwardly strengthened or uplifted spirit while accurately reflecting its adverbial form (Gr,D), indicating the manner in which an action is performed.
